AbstractWe treated 11 cases of the vein of Galen aneurysmal malformation, one of which was diagnosed by MRI only, and 10 underwent CAG diagnostic procedure. Among the 10 CAG diagnosed cases, 5 were classified as the vein of Galen aneurysmal malformation (VGAM) with the AV shunt directing to the vein of Galen. The other 5 were classified as the vein of Galen aneurysmal dilitation (VGAD) secondary to parenchymal AVM or dural AVF. 8 cases underwent endovascular treatment. For VGAM, the shunts in the wall of the vein were embolized. For VGAD, the primary AVM or AVF were embolized. The pathphysiology, angiographic characteristics, classification and the principle of endovascular therapy of the vein of Galen aneurysmal malformation were discussed.
