  ABSTRACT: Lemierre’s syndrome is a rare and severe sepsis, capable of rapidly compromising the vital prognosis in the absence of early intervention, characterized by an oropharyngeal infection complicated by septic thrombosis of the internal jugular vein and the formation of septic emboli primarily localized at the pulmonary level. We report the case of a 14-year-old boy, with no notable pathological history, who had presented for 15 days with unilateral orbital swelling which then became bilateral, all evolving in a context of fever.
