[Internal jugular venous thrombophlebitis secondary to tooth extraction].
A 20-year-old female patient presented with swelling and pain in the neck, difficulty in opening her mouth, dyspnea, nausea, fever, and shivering. She was prescribed amoxicillin for one week due to a teeth infection and had lower molar tooth extraction on the same side two days before. Neck examination showed a swelling, 2 x 3 cm in size, in the carotid triangle and minimal hyperemia on the skin. A diagnosis of internal jugular venous thrombophlebitis was made and parenteral antibiotherapy was administered along with antithrombotic therapy. Complete improvement was observed after 15 days and the patient was symptomless in the eighth month.
