Acute and recurrent ischemic episodes in multiple vascular territories in acute leukemia are unusual and rare. Only some cases have been reported. In most of these cases, the diagnosis was acute promyelocytic leukemia (type 3). We report in this paper a case of acute myeloid leukemia (type 1) revealed by acute upper limb ischemia associated to recurrent stroke in a 55 year-old patient.
