Arcanobacterium haemolyticum was isolated from the blood cultures of a previously healthy 37-year-old man who met all the criteria of Lemierre syndrome, including a primary oropharyngeal infection, evidence of thrombophlebitis of the internal jugular vein, and metastatic infections. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first case of Lemierre syndrome caused by A. haemolyticum in Korea and shows that A. haemolyticum alone can cause Lemierre syndrome.

Anterior or lateral neck mass that appears on straining should be differentiated from laryngocele, jugular phlebectasia and superior mediastinal cysts or masses. The most common cause of aneck masses which that appears on straining is alaryngocele. The jugular phlebectasia may present itself in a similar manner, although it occurs rarely. The cause of the jugular phlebectasia is unclear. The diagnosis is made on a clinical basis and confirmed by the less invasive radiological technique. No treatment is indicated because of its self-limiting, benign condition. However, the surgical removal is needed for cosmetic purposes by a unilateral excision of the jugular vein. We experienced two cases of jugular phlebectasia, one anterior and the other internal. One case of The anterior jugular phlebectasia was successfully treated by surgical excision, and the other case of internal jugular phlebectasia was treated conservatively.

A case of lateral neck mass caused by thrombosis of the right external jugular vein is presented. Macroscopic examination of the excised thrombosed vein showed a pin-point opening of the jugular vein connecting to the hemorrhagic mass and microscopic examination revealed the vein to have an organized thrombus with somewhat degenerated vessel walls. Venipuncture would seem the most likely cause of thrombosis of the venous aneurysm in this 6 year old female patient.

External jugular vein thrombosis is an infrequent disease that has been associated with altered blood flow, vascular endothelium lesion or a hypercoagulable state. It could be originated from phlebectasia, but very rare. It could be diagnosed with detailed history taking, when patients had no specific previous history of intervention or treatment. The authors report a case of external jugular vein thrombosis originated from phlebectasia without risk factor. This patient was successfully managed by ligation and excision of the vein without any complications.

The petrosquamosal sinus (PSS) is a rare emissary vein of the temporal bone. This vein connects dural sinuses with external jugular venous system. This pathway has been known to regress during fetal and early postnatal life however, several cadavaricstudies have revealed that the PSS is a relatively common feature in human. The imaging diagnosis of the PSS, such as digital subtraction angiography or high resolution CT scan, has been rarely reported in humans. We report a case of PSS in a patient with cholesteatoma with a review of literature.
