Prenatal diagnosis of a vein of Galen aneurysmal malformation with fetal MR imaging study.
We read with interest the article by Jones et al (1), in which the authors describe their experience in diagnosing and treating 13 children with vein of Galen aneurysmal malformation (VGAM) during a 14year period. Their experience confirms that children with VGAM presenting during the neonatal period have a generally much worse prognosis than do those presenting later in childhood. Only two of ...

Vein of Galen malformation (VGAM) results from an aneurysmal aberration with an arteriovenous shunting of blood. Vein of Galen aneurysmal malformations are the most frequent arteriovenous malformations in infants and fetuses. The congenital malformation develops during weeks 6-11 of fetal development. Infants often die from high-output congestive heart failure.
متن کاملPrenatal diagnosis of a vein of Galen aneurysmal malformation with MR imaging – report of two cases
BACKGROUND Vein of Galen malformations (VGMs) are rare congenital defects of cerebral vessels. They are formed between the 6(th) and 11(th) week of gestation. The background of this defect involves presence of one or more arterovenous fistulas directing bloodflow toward a persistent, dilated, proximal part of median prosencephalic vein (MProsV). Ultrasound examination is a basic test for diagno...
متن کاملSonographic Diagnosis of Fetal Adrenal Hemorrhage Complicating a Vein of Galen Aneurysmal Malformation.

Adrenal hemorrhage associated with VGAM has not been reported in the literature. We present the imaging findings of a fetal VGAM with adrenal hemorrhage. CASE REPORT A 26 year-old primigravida woman whose fetus with...

Background: Vein of Galen aneurysm (VGA) is the most common form of symptomatic cerebrovascular malformation in neonates. It develops in a fetus in the first trimester of pregnancy due to unknown reasons, but it is likely to have a genetic etiology. The prognosis of VGA is usually poor, particularly in newborns with heart failure due to high-flow intracerebral shunt. Surgery and endovascular em...
