摘要

We report a case of Lemierre syndrome complicated by multiple pulmonary artery pseudoaneurysms. A previously healthy 11-year-old girl presented with pansinusitis complicated by internal jugular vein thrombosis consistent with a diagnosis of Lemierre syndrome. She presented an episode of massive hemoptysis secondary to pseudoaneurysm rupture requiring radiologically guided embolization. Blood cultures isolated Streptococcus constellatus. Prolonged antibiotic therapy was administered. The patient was discharged from hospital 1 month later and recovered uneventfully.
