title: [Incidence of internal carotid artery thrombosis and disseminated intravascular coagulopathy in the early stages of acute myeloid leukemia].
abstract: The case history of a 15 year old boy in whom thrombosis of the internal carotid artery was associated with severe disseminated intravascular thrombosis (DIC) is described. Both peripheral blood smear and bone marrow aspirate revealed acute myelogenous leukemia FAB M-2 type as the cause of the disease. Consumption coagulopathy is common sign of hemostasis disturbances in leukemia. It is frequently observed in acute promyelocytic leukemia, but rarely it may be seen in the other forms of hemoblastosis, too.
