“…One report described a 73-year-old man whose microbial cultures grew F. necrophorum [ 2 ], and the other described a 38-year-old man for whom the causative organism was Streptococcus salivarius [ 3 ]. Acute parotitis associated with RIJV thrombosis has also been reported in the absence of bacteraemia [ 4 ] in an otherwise healthy 46-year-old lady who presented to outpatient ENT clinic, had parotitis confirmed by ultrasound with CT scan imaging 48 h after admission additionally showing RIJV thrombosis. All bacterial cultures were negative and her parotitis was successfully treated with empiric antibiotics [ 4 ].…”

“…The sceptic may also argue that the observed parotitis in our case was a consequence of MRSA infection caused by the RIJV line. The counterargument to this claim is that unlike reports of IJV septic thrombophlebitis [ 2 , 3 ] or thrombosis [ 4 ] secondary to acute parotitis, there are no reports of acute parotitis caused by IJV line infection. A single case report ascribed clinically suspected parotitis in a patient with an IJV line to migration of the venous catheter outside of the IJV into the soft tissue of the neck [ 17 ].…”

We report a case of septic thrombophlebitis of the right internal jugular vein linked with right-sided acute parotitis caused by methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) in a patient who had recently undergone a pylorus-preserving pancreaticoduodenectomy. Our case is unique because acute parotitis is a less-recognized cause of Lemierre’s syndrome, never previously linked with MRSA infection in this context. We review the literature on diagnosis and management of Lemierre’s syndrome caused by acute parotitis. Prompt diagnosis and aggressive antibiotics ensured a favourable outcome.

“…Prolonged cannulation of subclavian vein for haemodialysis [2] and pacemaker implantation [3] is known to cause thrombosis. IJV thrombosis may occur due to polycythemia [4], prolonged catheterization [5], cervical traction [6], functional neck dissection [7], and infections in the neck and throat region [8,9]. Use of aprotinin does not affect the incidence of deep venous thrombosis [10 -12].…”

Negative resultsA 25-year-old male patient was operated on for Tetralogy of Fallot in our hospital. Preoperatively, he was polycythemic. Echocardiography revealed the presence of left superior vena cava (SVC) and suggested the possibility of a coronary artery anomaly. Angiography revealed no coronary artery abnormality. The angiography also confirmed the presence of left SVC. The left SVC was filling from right SVC (via a bridging vein), left vertebral vein, left subclavian vein and left internal jugular vein (IJV). A 16-gauge cannula was inserted in the left hand for infusion of fluids and drugs. Anaesthesia was induced with a standard technique. A triple lumen cannula was inserted in the right IJV after induction of anaesthesia. After sternotomy, a small bridging vein connecting the left SVC and the right SVC was seen. Intraoperatively, heparin was given according to standard protocol and the activated clotting time was maintained at more than 480 s. Aprotinin was added to the prime. Venous drainage for cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) was accomplished using right SVC and inferior vena cava cannulation. The connecting vein between right and left SVC was very small in size and it would not have drained LSVC adequately. Hence left SVC was drained by insertion of an 18 Fr left ventricular sump vent catheter (Argyle, Sherwood Medical, USA) via coronary sinus and snugged at an extracardiac site. The tip of the vent catheter was placed just in the extracardiac portion of LSVC. Low suction was applied to the LSVC vent catheter using roller pump revolutions of about 20 -40/min. The LSVC was drained for about 150 min. Intracardiac repair was performed and the patient was weaned off CPB. The duration of CPB was 307 min. Heparin was reversed with protamine after successful weaning from CPB. Postoperatively, the patient maintained stable haemodynamics and was weaned off the ventilator after 18 h of ventilation. The patient did not receive any prophylactic anticoagulation therapy in the immediate postoperative period. Haemoglobin was 12 gm% on the 4th postoperative day. Postoperative echocardiography revealed mild subvalvular pulmonary stenosis. The patient was discharged on the 15th postoperative day. He returned to the hospital 3 days after 1569-9293/$ -see front matter q

Internal jugular vein thrombosis (IJVT) is a vascular disorder that results from various clinical conditions. The vast majority of IJVT are considered to be complications of central venous catheterization. The list of associated conditions must also be expanded and should include the following: mediastinal tumors, low antithrombin III levels, tumors associated with hypercoagulability, previous central venous catheterization, neck surgery, intravenous drug abuse, neoplasms of the head and neck, Hughes-Stovin syndrome, which is associated with pseudotumor cerebri and seizures in children, and other conditions such as local inflammation from radiation therapy or sepsis and infective cervical adenopathy. There are several cases in the literature related to spontaneous IJVT. Spontaneous IJVT may occur when there are no apparent predisposing mechanical or inflammatory causes although a few of these patients may harbor an occult neoplasm.
