Article information

Las malformaciones aneurismáticas de la vena de Galeno representan aproximadamente un tercio de todas las malformaciones vasculares intracraneales en la edad pediátrica; sin embargo, existe poca referencia en el medio. Los pacientes con este tipo de malformación presentaban altas tasas de morbimortalidad hasta la década de los noventa; desde entonces el desarrollo en las técnicas de diagnóstico prenatal y de terapia endovascular han permitido modificar el pronóstico de esta población.

Se describe el caso de un paciente en quien se hizo diagnóstico prenatal, se realizó tratamiento con terapia endovascular a los cuatro meses de vida, y se obtuvieron buenos resultados.

Se hace enfásis en el diagnóstico temprano y en la prevención de secuelas a través de una intervención oportuna.

Aneurysmal malformations of the vein of Galen represent approximately one third of all intracranial vascular malformations in children. However, in our country we have few references. Patients with this type of malformation had high morbi-mortality rates until the early nineties; since then, the development of techniques of prenatal diagnosis and endovascular therapy have allowed to modify the prognosis of these patients.

We describe the case of a patient in whom prenatal diagnosis of aneurysmal malformation of the vein of Galen was made, and was managed at four months of age with endovascular therapy with good results.

We emphasize on early diagnosis and prevention of sequelae through appropriate intervention.

Keywords:
