Vein Of Galen Aneurysm

Vein of Galen aneurysm is a rare pathology, representing less than 1% of intracranial vascular malformations. We report on a 65 years-old man who experienced a generalized tonic-clonic seizure. Brain imaging showed a large calcified expanding mass in the pineal region, confirming the diagnosis of a vein of Galen aneurysm. Because of the spontaneous thrombosis of the malformation, there was no need for microsurgical or endovascular treatment and he is been regularly followed since that.

AbstractVein of Galen aneurysmal malformation (VGAM) is the result of the direct communication between the arterial network and the median prosencephalic vein. It is a rare vascular congenital malformation representing less than 1% of intracranial abnormalities. This finding is very rare in adults, and it may or may not present symptoms during childhood. Most cases of VGAM can be detected in the fetus by ultrasonography. The referral of pregnant women with fetuses with this condition to centers where better facilities and resources for childbirth and immediate postpartum care are available has resulted in considerable improvement in the prognosis of newborns. Regarding treatment, the endovascular approach to VGAM includes arterial embolization and percutaneous transvenous techniques. The transvenous endovascular treatment was chosen in the case presented in this article.

Vein Of Galen Aneurysm

Spontaneous thrombosis of a vein of Galen aneurysmal malformation (VOGM) is rare. We describe a 2-month-old patient with a patent VOGM and hydrocephalus, also confirmed patent at 6 months, but with subsequent lack of filling on preembolization catheter digital subtraction angiography (DSA) at 9 months’ age. Due to the presence of T1- and T2-bright signal, noncontrast T1-weighted images (T1WI), T2-weighted images (T2WI), two-dimensional (2D) time-of-flight (TOF) magnetic resonance venography (MRV), and postcontrast T1WI were ambiguous for patency. However, subtracting the pre- from the postcontrast MRV images confirmed closure compared to subtracted images at 6 months’ age. The factors contributing to thrombosis were likely a combination of a disproportionately small straight sinus, ventriculostomy, and contrast medium from DSA.

Papillary Endothelial Hyperplasia

Intracranial intravascular papillary endothelial hyperplasia (IPEH), also referred to as Masson’s tumor, is a condition that rarely occurs in the nervous system. IPEH most frequently occurs extracranially in the skin of the face, skull, neck, and trunk and can easily be mistaken clinically, radiologically, and histologically for angiosarcoma, organizing hematoma, or other vascular malformations. IPEH accounts for roughly 2% of all vascular tumors and is extremely rare intracranially, with only 23 reported cases compared with more than 300 cases of IPEH occurring in the skin and subcutaneous tissue. To date, it has never been reported to occur in the pineal region. The authors report the case of a patient with an IPEH in the pineal region who underwent complex resection and experienced reversal of neurological symptoms.

Rapid Ventricular Pacing

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.
