Abstract :A dental extraction is a frequently performed procedure in daily routine. Fatal infections may occur after dental extraction due to the richness of the oropharyngeal flora from aerobic and anaerobic microorganisms.

We present a patient with complications after dental extraction procedure including severe deep neck inflammation, thrombophlebitis of jugular vein insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(Lemierre’s syndrome);, mediastinal abscess, and empyema. A dental extraction is the most frequent cause of the oral infection that may cause coexisting and individually life-threatening complications in diabetic patients.
