| Popis: | Vein of Galen aneurysmal malformation (VGAM) is the result of the direct communication between the arterial network and the median prosencephalic vein. It is a rare vascular congenital malformation representing less than 1% of intracranial abnormalities. This finding is very rare in adults, and it may or may not present symptoms during childhood. Most cases of VGAM can be detected in the fetus by ultrasonography. The referral of pregnant women with fetuses with this condition to centers where better facilities and resources for childbirth and immediate postpartum care are available has resulted in considerable improvement in the prognosis of newborns. Regarding treatment, the endovascular approach to VGAM includes arterial embolization and percutaneous transvenous techniques. The transvenous endovascular treatment was chosen in the case presented in this article. |
