Excerpt
Vein of Galen aneurysmal malformations (VGAM) are rare congenital vascular anomalies characterized by abnormal arteriovenous connections in the embryonic median prosencephalic vein [1, 2]. These high-flow shunts can lead to severe complications, including congestive heart failure in neonates, hydrocephalus, and neurological deficits in infants and older children. The condition accounts for approximately 30% of pediatric vascular malformations and has historically been associated with high morbidity and mortality [3]. Advances in endovascular embolization techniques have significantly improved patient outcomes compared to traditional surgical approaches, offering a less invasive and more effective treatment option [4]. …
