The cause of acute arterial occlusion is generally cardiac embolism. Rarely any cardiovascular pathology can be detected.
A 39-year-old male patient with symptoms of acute arterial occlusion in the left lower extremity was presented. Left femoral embolectomy was performed on an emergency basis and arterial flow of the extremity was reconstituted. The patient underwent 7 consecutive thrombectomies within two weeks because of recurrent arterial thrombosis in the same extremity. The patient had no pathology that might be the cause of acute arterial occlusion. The patient was diagnosed as acute leukemia and he died of disseminated intravascular coagulopathy after 3 weeks following his admission.
Acute arterial occlusion was the initial symptom in this patient. Recurrent arterial thrombosis requiring multiple embolectomies in a young patient without any signs of intracardiac and vascular causes should raise the suspicion of hematological malignancy.Keywords: Thrombosis, leukemiaTurkiye Klinikleri J Med Sci 2005, 25:871-873
