OBJECTIVE To describe the cases of 2 fetuses with aneurysms of the vein of Galen diagnosed prenatally. METHODS The techniques used were conventional sonography, three-dimensional sonography, and ultrafast magnetic resonance imaging. On the basis of these imaging modalities, prognostic factors, such as drainage and secondary damage, were assessed. RESULTS The first fetus had good prognostic ...

The great cerebral vein of Galen extends from the junction of the two internal cerebral veins under the splenium of the corpus callosum to the commencement of the straight sinus. Arteriovenous aneurysms of this vein are rare congenital anomalies and only 22 cases have been found in a review of the literature. Other types of cerebral arteriovenous aneurysms are not so unusual. Their true inciden...

Vein of Galen aneurysmal malformations (VGAM) are characterized by multiple arteriovenous connections draining into a markedly enlarged median draining vein. This ectatic vein is not the vein of Galen, but its embryonic precursor, the median prosencephalic vein of Markowski. During normal development, the posterior portion of the median prosencephalic vein persists as the vein of Galen, while i...

Ann Saud Med. 2005;25(3):258–261 The arteriovenous malformation of the vein of Galen is a rare entity in neonates. Its association with other major cardiac anomalies is even more uncommon. We report the first case of interrupted aortic arch associated with the vein of Galen malformation in the English literature. e possible etiology, diagnosis and management of this rare combination are discus...

Andreas Vesalius' (1514-64) first publication was a Paraphrasis of the ninth book of the Liber ad Almansorem, written by the Arab-Persian physician and alchemist Rhazes (854-925). The role of Rhazes in Vesalius' oeuvre has thus far been much disregarded. The different ways Rhazes recurs reveal an intellectual evolution in Vesalius' work. In the Paraphrasis, Vesalius subjects Rhazes to the autho...

A fluoroscopy fade technique in the embolization of a vein of Galen malformation in a 10-week-old infant is discussed herein. The availability of the fluoroscopy fade function eliminated the necessity of road mapping during the procedure and permitted minimal usage of contrast material and minimal radiation exposure for the patient. Techniques used during the embolization and the benefits of th...

Objective To describe the prenatal diagnosis of Galen vein aneurysm (GVA) based on ultrasonography and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) in a series of cases, as well as its postnatal outcomes and follow-up until 4 years of age. Methods A retrospective longitudinal study was performed, analyzing a database comprising seven cases of prenatal diagnosis of GVA at two Brazilian institutions from Feb...
