Lemierre\'s syndrome is characterized by internal jugular vein thrombophlebitis and bacteremia, primarily from anaerobic organisms. The condition usually arises after a recent oropharyngeal infection. Young, healthy people with prolonged pharyngitis that progresses into septicemia, pneumonia, or lateral neck stiffness should be suspected of having Lemierre\'s syndrome. Identifying internal jugular vein thrombophlebitis and developing anaerobic bacterial growth on blood culture are frequently used to confirm the diagnosis. Treatment consists of long-term antibiotic treatment, sometimes in conjunction with anticoagulant medication. In this case report, we describe the unique case of a 29-year-old male with Mycobacterium tuberculosis with pulmonary tuberculosis, tubercular meningitis, tuberculosis-related acute ischemic stroke with septic thrombophlebitis. The patient presented with sudden onset altered sensorium for 4 hours. Magnetic resonance imaging of the brain was done, which suggested obstructive hydrocephalus with periventricular ooze. The patient was started on antibacillary treatment, antibiotics, anticoagulants, and systemic steroids. The patient was vitally stable when he was discharged. Therefore, it is crucial to consider the likelihood of such atypical tuberculosis presentations while providing a prompt and relevant diagnosis and recommending the right course of therapy.

Thrombotic events in SARS-COV-2 disease patients are frequent, especially in patients with comorbidities such as heart failure, hypertension, cancer, diabetes mellitus, kidney failure, vascular disease, and other pulmonary illnesses. In severe cases, in particular those of hospitalized patients with other comorbidities, the development of thrombotic events in spite of anticoagulation therapy has been observed. The main thrombotic events are pulmonary thromboembolism, cerebral ischemic stroke, and peripheral artery thrombosis. Despite the severity of SARS-COV-2 disease, some patients with the aforementioned comorbidities develop thrombotic events regardless of the severity of their SARS-COV-2 infection. In this setting, the cerebellum makes no exception as an uncommon, but still possible target for thrombotic events.

Cysticercosis results in humans when infected with the larval stage of taenia solium which is called cysticercus cellulosae. The target organs usually involved are the brain, eyes, spine, and skeletal muscles. The ocular form of cysticercosis can affect the intra-ocular structures or involve the orbital adnexa. Intraocular involvement is relatively common and is readily diagnosed owing to its obvious visibility on a basic slit-lamp examination, however, affection of orbital adnexa is infrequent. Moreover, solitary involvement of one of the extraocular muscles is rare and difficult to diagnose as it presents with a spectrum of non-specific symptoms. We report a rare case of orbital cysticercosis with a solitary left superior rectus muscle involvement, who presented with recurrent on and off lid swelling extending for two years with double vision and restriction of downward gaze.
