Vein of Galen malformation with Obstructive Hydrocephalus- Endovascular Approach of Management : A Case Report
View through CrossRef
The vein of Galen malformation is a rare arteriovenous shunt that is estimated to represent 30% of all pediatric vascular malformations. Less than 1% of cerebral vascular malformations are aneurysmal abnormalities of the vein of Galen, making it a rare disorder. Despite being uncommon, VGM is of particular clinical importance since the large cerebral shunt volume causes a significant mortality rate when left untreated because to date, the treatment of patients with VGM remains challenging. Here we report a case of an 11-month-old baby who had VGM with obstructive hydrocephalus and was effectively treated by transarterial glue embolization of the fistula and the venous sac. Subsequently, the baby made a complete recovery.
