Gary L. Merhar, MD; David P. Colley, MD; Robert A. Clark, MD; Steven R. Herwig, DO

Arch Otolaryngol. 1981;107(5):313-315.

Abstract
• Cervical abscess and internal jugular vein thrombosis occurred in a 36-year-old man with a history of drug abuse. Computed tomography (CT) and angiography correctly identified the pathologic abnormalities that were surgically confirmed. We stress the use of CT in the evaluation of this condition.
