A 16-year-old male was admitted to our hospital with the diagnosis of deep neck abscess due to a dental infection was mentioned. Surgical drainage was applied under local anesthesia. The patient did well for about 2 days. Two days later, acute swelling on patient's neck had began. The computed tomography revealed massive cervical hematoma and right internal jugular vein thrombophlebitis . The neck exploration was made successfully. Vascular complications of deep neck infections are less common but they are still present. We could not find a similar case report of the internal jugular vein erosion and silent hematoma in the neck due to deep neck infection.
