Acute thrombosis in superior mesenteric artery as first symptom in a AML patient

It is well known that acute leukemia may accompany thromboembolic events; even severe thrombocytopenia does not prevent thrombosis. Coagulation dysfunction is the major pathophysiological background for thromboembolism in these patients. Most thromboembolism is localized in venous vessels in acute l...

description It is well known that acute leukemia may accompany thromboembolic events; even severe thrombocytopenia does not prevent thrombosis. Coagulation dysfunction is the major pathophysiological background for thromboembolism in these patients. Most thromboembolism is localized in venous vessels in acute leukemic patients and it happens rarely in the artery. We report a case of acute thrombosis in the superior mesenteric artery as the first symptom in a patient suffering from acute myeloid leukemia (FAB M4).
