Vein Of Galen Aneurysm

Abstract A 12-day-old infant in intractable cardiac failure due to a vein of Galen malformation was treated successfully with serial ligation of the majority of the vessels feeding the malformation. Despite some residual vascular supply to the malformation, the congestive heart failure has disappeared and growth and development have been normal over a 3-year follow-up period.

Persistent Fetal Circulation

Persistent pulmonary hypertension of the newborn or persistent fetal circulation is a clinical syndrome that is usually apparent within the first 2 days after birth because of the presence of hypoxemia (2;12;19). The syndrome was first described in an abstract by Gersony, Due, and Sinclair (6) in 1969. Two infants were reported who had “RV decompensation, cyanosis and clear lung fields… in the absence of recognizable cardiac, pulmonary, hematologic or CNS disease.” The syndrome has been associated with aspiration of meconium, diaphragmatic hernia, asphyxia, hemorrhage, shock, and maternal infection (4;18). In other cases, there is no clear antecedent event. Despite considerable interest in the problem and a wealth of research related to pulmonary vasoregulation and vascular development in the fetus and newborn, the etiology of the syndrome remains obscure 20 years since its recognition.

✓ A giant arteriovenous fistula in a newborn infant was treated by surgical occlusion of the feeding vessels at 20 days of life. Congestive heart failure responded favorably to operative treatment. Because of persistent hydrocephalus, a shunt was inserted at 2 months of age. At 9 months of age, the child remained without signs of cardiac failure. Cerebral damage was manifested by a mild left hemiparesis. Successful surgical treatment of this unusual lesion in a neonate is exceptional.
