Cancer-associated thromboembolism is not an uncommon complication in patients with malignancies. No study has reported the occurrence of thromboembolism prior to the diagnosis of acute myeloid leukemia (AML). Most reports are anectodal and data are scarce on this subject. In this report, we present a case of extensive cerebral venous thrombosis (CVT) that was detected a few weeks before the diagnosis of AML, in which case the patient responded well to chemotherapy and anticoagulation.
癌症相关血栓栓塞在恶性肿瘤患者中是一种并不罕见的并发症。尚无研究报道过急性髓系白血病（AML）诊断之前发生血栓栓塞的情况。大多数报告都是轶事性的，关于这个主题的数据很少。在本报告中，我们呈现了一例在AML诊断前几周被检测出广泛脑静脉血栓形成（CVT）的病例，该患者对化疗和抗凝治疗反应良好。
