ROA, Juan David; VASQUEZ, Pablo; SANABRIA, Diana  y  MOLINA GIRALDO, Saulo. Timely diagnosis of a Newborn wth Vein of Galen aneurysmal malformation: a case report. Acta Neurol Colomb. [online]. 2018, vol.34, n.1, pp.54-58. ISSN 0120-8748.  https://doi.org/10.22379/24224022179.

The vein of Galen malformation is a clinical challenge despite its low frequency, this disease must be detected early during the prenatal age and managed by a multidisciplinary group, beginning with the general physician in the antenatal medical appointment and later receiving treatment with perinatologists, pediatricians, neonatologists and interventional radiologists; all of this in order to ensure a better outcome and neurologic and systemic consequences.

This report shows a female patient with an early and accurate antenatal diagnosis of vein of Galen malformation; during the postnatal period multidisciplinary approach and rationale medical management lowered the risk and possible complications, allowing the preparation for a late endovascular intervention.

Palabras clave : Aneurysm; congenital; malformation; neonates; prenatal diagnosis; vein of Galen (MeSH).
