		Vein of Galen aneurysmal malformations (VGAM) are rare congenital vascular malformations characterised by shunting of the arterial flow into an enlarged cerebral vein dorsal to the tectum.

		The term "vein of Galen malformation" is used to describe a heterogeneous group of anomalies with enlarged deep venous structures of the Galenic system, that are fed by abnormal midline arterio-venous communications [1].
		Aneurysmal dilatation of the vein of Galen is the pathologic finding most common to this heterogeneous group of vascular malformations [2].
		The sac probably represents persistence of a primitive venous channel that is the embryonic precursor of the vein of Galen.

		Summary: This is not a true aneurysm but a consortium of congenital vascular malformations of the neonate that all share dilatation of the vein of Galen as a common feature.
		Secondary lesions: The aneurysmal dilation of the vein of Galen may be associated with distal venous drainage stenosis or occlusion.
		Feeding arteries: The dilated vein of Galen is generally fed by blood from one or both posterior cerebral artery or one of their branches, less frequently from small posterior branches of middle cerebral arteries and other arteries.

		Background: The vein of Galen is located under the cerebral hemispheres and drains the anterior and central regions of the brain into the sinuses of the posterior cerebral fossa.
		Aneurysmal malformations of the vein of Galen (VGAM) typically result in high-output congestive heart failure or may present with developmental delay, hydrocephalus, and seizures.
		The congenital malformation develops during weeks 6-11 of fetal development as a persistent embryonic prosencephalic vein of Markowski; thus, VGAM is actually a misnomer.

		Aneurysms of this vein are actually end-to-end anastomoses of a major artery to a vein without the usual intervening capillaries.
		This abnormality, sometimes erroneously called an aneurysm, is a gross dilatation of the vein of Galen, being fed directly by a large anomalous vessel or vessels arising from the carotid or basilar circulation.
		The posterior cerebral artery and its branches are the most commonly involved feeders to this malformation, resulting in turbulence at the confluence of arterial and venous streams.
