VGAM

vein of Galen aneurysmal malformation(English)

  • a congenital vascular malformation that comprises 30% of the pediatric vascular and 1% of all pediatric congenital anomalies. Abnormal development causes shunting of arterial blood into the median prosencephalic vein (MProsV) of Markowski, which is the ectatic vessel. Treatment is dependent on the timing of presentation and clinical manifestations. With the development of endovascular techniques, treatment paradigms have changed and clinical outcomes have significantly improved. Probably better termed as median prosencephalic arteriovenous fistula
