“…This effects an increase in perfusion pressure and results in edema (Black and Farhat, ). Lesions that can be mistaken for GPAVFs include anomalies of the VG (Calabro and Palmieri, ). Bizarre pathomorphologies have been described, including a case with typical PCA supply and Galenic drainage with a venous pouch extending around the right midbrain to the ipsilateral lateral ventricle, with rupture into the ventricular system (Cohen et al, ).…”

Vein of Galen (VG) aneurysmal malformations (VGAMs) are complex vascular lesions. Their etiopathogenesis is extensively debated and remains poorly understood. Strictly speaking, true VGAMs are Galenic pial arteriovenous fistulas. They are believed to arise in utero and are contended to drain either into the true VG or the median prosencephalic vein of Markowski. Several classification systems have been proposed and are widely used. With the advent of endovascular therapy, precise understanding of the angioarchitecture is critical for management and therapeutic decision making. We review clinical presentation and diagnostic imaging findings, discussing angioarchitectural properties as they relate to treatment planning. Clin.
