Abstract

This article describes a rare case of Salmonella neck abscess complicated by internal jugular vein thrombosis in a 51-year-old patient with previously undiagnosed diabetes. The patient was discharged without any complications after a combination of medical and surgical treatment. Also discussed here are the clinical manifestations, imaging findings, and spontaneous resolution of the internal jugular vein thrombosis. Being immunocompromised is a critical predisposing factor for Salmonella neck abscess. Patient recovery is largely determined by proper incision, drainage of pus and adequate intravenous antibiotics according to bacterial sensitivity tests. Detection of an internal jugular vein thrombosis does not signify a poor prognosis. Spontaneous resolution of thrombosis is encountered after treating the infection.
