case_images: The repeat CT scan of the neck with contrast showed rim-enhancing left peritonsillar collections with adjacent thrombophlebitis (Figure 1).
case_images: (a) Axial section (lung window) at the level of carina showing a peripheral patch of consolidation with central cavitation 2.8 x 1.6 cm in size, with a small pleural collection. (b) Axial section (lung window) showing 1.1 x 1.1 cm cavitary lesion, with 1.8 x 1.6 cm nodular density in lingula.

case_images: Also, an axial contrast-enhanced chest CT scan showed multiple new patchy cavitary nodules of the lung, suspicious for septic emboli (Figures 2(a) and 2(b)).

case_images: CT imaging of the neck and chest was done at this point and was consistent with complete resolution of the internal jugular vein thrombus (Figure 3) as well as cavitary lung nodules (Figures 4(a) and 4(b)).
case_images: (a, b) Complete resolution of both parenchymal and pleural opacities on follow-up CT thorax following treatment.
