Sinus Thrombosis after Endovascular Treatment of Vein of Galen Aneurysmal Malformation.
نویسندگان
چکیده
The treatment of choice of vein of Galen aneurysmal malformation (VGAM) involves endovascular procedures that can be difficult to perform in high-flow fistulas. We describe the use of rapid ventricular pacing (RVP), a well-known cardiologic technique, to safely treat a high-flow fistula in an infant with VGAM.

Vein of Galen Aneurysmal Malformation and High-output Cardiac Failure in a Newborn
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...
متن کاملVein of Galen Aneurysmal Malformation in a Neonate: A Case Report
Vein of Galen aneurysmal malformation (VGAM) is a rare congenital malformation, accounting for less than 1% of cerebrovascular abnormalities. The majority of reported cases have been associated with congestive heart failure (CHF) in the neonatal period. Herein, we present a case of VGAM, diagnosed at 37 weeks of gestation during the intrauterine life Case report: A full-term female newborn pre...

Located under the cerebral hemispheres and draining the anterior and central regions of the brain into the sinus of the posterior cerebral fossa, the vein of Galen aneurysmal malformation is considered to be a rare cause of hydrocephaly. The presence of this condition in the neonatal period typically includes intractable heart failure and a poor prognosis. We report a case of aneurysm of the ve...

Two cases of aneurysmal malformations of the vein of Galen with later spontaneous thrombosis are reported. Angiograms before thrombosis in both cases showed mural type aneurysmal malformations of the vein of Galen with slow arteriovenous shunts and associated stagnation of contrast in the venous sac secondary to severe outflow restriction. Based on these angiographic findings, the patients were...

A prenatally diagnosed patient was referred to our hospital at 35 weeks of gestation. Antenatal ultrasonography demonstrated cardiomegaly and aneurysm of the vein of Galen. A 3,290 g male baby was delivered by elective cesarean section at 37 weeks of gestation. Physical examination was remarkable for tachypnea, hyperdynamic precordium with a continuous murmur, cranial bruit and bounding carotid...
