Imaging findings
Multifocal cavitary nodular opacities, consistent with septic emboli, accompanied by right internal jugular vein thrombosis/thrombophlebitis.
Key takeaways
The constellation of septic emboli and internal jugular vein thrombosis is highly suggestive of Lemierre's syndrome, though it can present without classic pharyngitis or the typical Fusobacterium organism.
