Cerebral damage in neonates resulting from arteriovenous malformation of the vein of Galen.
نویسندگان
چکیده
Seven neonates with arteriovenous malformation of the vein of Galen are described. Six presented with cyanotic heart failure. Two cases had antenatal cerebral infarction, five periventricular leukomalacia, and three recent haemorrhagic infarction. Cerebral damage due to the malformation suggests that surgical correction of the arteriovenous malformation offers little to neonates, though after the neonatal period individuals can be cured by operation.

متن کاملArteriovenous malformations involving the vein of Galen.
The vein of Galen is the largest of the deep cerebral veins formed posterior to the pineal body by confluence of the two internal cerebral veins. It curves sharply upward around the splenium of the corpus collosum and drains the deep medially located veins of the diencephalon, basal ganglia, and mid brain. Dilatation of the vein of Galen results from the force of arterial blood either directly ...
