  • Fungal thrombophlebitis of the central vein is a rare, life-threatening disease associated with significant morbidity and mortality. It requires immediate central venous catheter removal and intravenous antifungal therapy, combined in some cases with either anticoagulation or aggressive surgical debridement. A 70-year-old male patient injured by a falling object weighing 1,000 kg was transferred to our hospital. A contained rupture of the abdominal aorta with retroperitoneal hematoma was treated with primary aortic repair, and a small bowel perforation with mesenteric laceration was treated with resection and anastomosis. After a computed tomography scan, the patient was diagnosed with thrombophlebitis of the left internal jugular vein and brachiocephalic vein. Despite antifungal treatment, fever and candidemia persisted. Therefore, emergency debridement and thrombectomy were performed. After the operation, the patient was treated with an oral antifungal agent and direct oral anticoagulants. During a 1-year follow-up, no signs of candidemia relapse were observed. There is no optimal timing of surgical treatment for relapsed fungal central thrombophlebitis. Surgical treatment should be considered for early recovery.

  • 장간막 혈전정맥염은 장의 허혈 및 경색을 일으킬 수 있는 드문 질환으로, 게실염이나 충수돌기염 등의 염증성 장질환으로 인해 이차적으로 발생한다. 게실 질환에 의해 발생한 장간막 혈전정맥염의 빈도는 매우 낮고 증상이 비특이적이므로 영상학적 진단이 매우 중요하다. 저자들은 61세 여성의 전산화단층촬영에서 말단 회장의 게실염에 동반된 상장간막 혈전정맥염으로 진단받고 항생제, 경구 항응고제 치료 및 우반 결장 절제술 후 혈전정맥염이 소실된 증례를 경험하여 보고한다.

  • Lemierre syndrome is caused by an infection in the oropharyngeal region with subsequent thrombophlebitis in the internal jugular vein. The thrombus from the thrombophlebitis can invade other vital organs, such as liver, lungs, or joints, resulting in secondary infection, which further exacerbates the fatal prognosis of this syndrome. Lemierre syndrome, also called postanginal sepsis or necrobacillosis, was first reported by Dr. Lemierre in 1936. In his report, Lemierre mentioned that out of 20 patients who suffered from this syndrome, only two survived. He also stated that all of the 20 patients complained of infections in the palatine tonsils and developed sepsis and thrombophlebitis in the internal jugular vein. Once called a "forgotten disease," this syndrome showed a very high mortality rate until usage of antibiotics became prevalent. In this case report, the authors present a 71-year-old female patient who suffered from Lemierre syndrome with thrombosis extended to the right sigmoid sinus.

  • Lemierre's syndrome is rare disease characterized by anaerobic sepsis, internal jugular vein thrombosis, septic emboli that resulted from head and neck infection. Lemierre's syndrome has significant morbidity, so immediate, accurate diagnosis and treatment is needed. It is necessary to perform contrast-enhanced computed tomography (CT) for diagnosis. Systemic antibiotics is recommended, and surgical interventions, anticoagulation may beis considered for treatment. We report misdiagnosed case as a simple deep neck infection on initial ultrasonography with simultaneous abscess aspiration but finally diagnosed and treated internal jugular vein thrombophlebitis (Lemierre's syndrome) on CT scan. We report a case of a 45-year-old patient, who was diagnosed with a simple deep neck infection and treated with simultaneous abscess aspiration, but finally diagnosed and treated internal jugular vein thrombophlebitis (Lemierre's syndrome) on CT scan.

  • Lemierre 증후군은 원발성 구인두 감염증으로 인하여 내경정맥의 패혈성 혈전정맥염과 원격전이성 감염증이 발생하는 드물고도 진행이 빠른 임상적 상태로 특징지워진다. 심한 흉부 외상으로 기관 절개하에서 기계호흡 치료 중이던 40세 남자 환자가 우측 경부의 현저한 종창과 폐렴증상이 나타나면서 전신적인 패혈증상이 동반되었다. 경부 전산화 단층촬영과 자기공명 혈관조영술에서 우측 내경정맥이 큰 중심 괴사성 혈전에 의해 완전히 폐쇄되어 있었으며, 주위로의 염증파급이 매우 심한 혈전정맥염의 소견을 보였다. Clindamycin과 haparin의 투여에도 불구하고 염증소견은 더욱 악화되었다. 즉각적인 내경정맥 혈전제거술 및 절제술을 시행하였으며, 이후 환자의 전신적인 패혈증상과 폐렴 그리고 국소적인 염증소견이 소실되었다.

  • Lemierre syndrome is caused by acute oropharyngeal infections with secondary septic thrombophlebitis of the internal jugular vein and is characterized by frequent metastatic infections. A 56-year-old man presented with severe reddish inflammatory swelling of the right cervical soft tissue. Thrombophlebitis in the right internal jugular vein and multiple pulmonary embolisms were identified on neck and chest computed tomography (CT). He was treated with antibiotics and heparin for 4 weeks and then discharged without other complications.

  • Lemierre syndrome, also known as postanginal sepsis, is a severe complication of an acute oropharyngeal infection that result in septic thrombophlebitis of the internal jugular vein with subsequent septicemia. This disease is relatively rare, but it has significant morbidity and is potentially fatal. Early diagnosis based on computed tomography with contrast enhancement is mandatory and immediate treatment including intravenous antibiotics, anticoagulants, or surgical approach should be considered. We report a case of Lemierre syndrome after deep neck infection which was successfully treated using antibiotics and anticoagulants.

  • A 12-year-old Warmblood mare was presented with an acute onset left hindlimb lameness associated with generalised soft tissue swelling of the entire limb and medial saphenous vein (MSV) thrombophlebitis. A presumptive diagnosis of extremity compartment syndrome (ECS) was made. Due to the clinical deterioration, emergency fasciotomy of the crural fascia and biopsy was performed. Histological and immunohistochemical examination of the samples confirmed a diagnosis of leiomyosarcoma likely originating from the tunica media of the MSV. This report is the first to describe an unique combination of ECS and thrombophlebitis associated with a leiomyosarcoma in a horse.

  • Lemierre 증후군은 인두염 후에 이차적인 내경정맥의 혈전정맥염, 다음 단계로 폐나 관절에 전이감염을 특징으로 한다. 항생제 사용 이전에는 비교적 흔한 질환이었으나 항생제 보급 이후로 드물게 보고 되고 있어서 진단이 지연되고 적절한 치료가 이루어지지 않으면 치명적인 경과를 취할 수 있다. 최근 전형적인 Lemierre 증후군의 임상양상을 보였던 1예를 경험하였기에 문헌고찰과 함께 보고하는 바이다.

  • Immunoglobulin (Ig) G4-related disease is a recently recognized systemic fibroinflammatory condition characterized by a lymphoplasmacytic infiltrate rich in IgG4-positive plasma cells with elevated circulating levels of IgG4. The disease can either be localized to one or two organs, or present as diffuse multi-organ disease. Furthermore, lesions in different organs can present simultaneously or metachronously. In the pulmonary manefestations, lesions associated with IgG4-related disease have been described in the lung parenchyma, airways and pleura, as well as the mediastinum. We report a case of IgG4-related disease presenting as massive pleural effusion and thrombophlebitis.
