121Ve in of Galen Aneurysmal Malformation
Fig. 3.11A–D. A 2-month-old girl presenting with cardiac overload equilibrated with medical treatment as well as macrocrania and already moderate ventricular dilatation. She presented with a general­ized seizure and a mild motor deficit.When we saw her at 6months ofage,there was already a delay in neurological acquisitions. A, B Angiography and C, D MRI demonstrates an explosive transhemispheric network of vessels reaching the choroid fissure and opening into the vein of Galen mal­formation
The nidus of the lesion is usually located in the midline and therefore receives a bilateral and symmetrical supply (Fig. 3.17). In certain in­stances, one side may be more prominent, and this will cause the dilated pouch to be shifted by the force of the jet of the fistula away from the prominent supply toward the opposite side (see Fig. 3.42). In general terms, two types of angioarchitecture are encountered: choroidal and mural. The former corresponds to a very primitive condition, with the contribution of all the choroidal arteries and an interposed network before opening into the large venous pouch (see Figs. 3.12, 3.16). This condition is encountered in most neonates with low clinical scores (see Sect. 3.8). The latter corresponds to direct AV fistulas within the wall of the median vein of the prosencephalon (see Figs. 3.17, 3.39). These fistulas can be single or (more often) multiple and either converge into a single venous chamber or into multiple venous lobulations located along the anterior aspect of the pouch or along the afferent choroidal veins of the fissure (Fig. 3.11).This mural form is often better tolerated and encountered in infants who do not develop cardiac symptoms and who have a better disease tolerance and feature higher clinical scores. Intermediate forms can occur, but their identification does not assist in the understanding of the disease, and they are only in­teresting from a technical and management point of view.So far,we have not seen a true VGAM associated with another type of AVM.

Since the choroidal veins are the embryonic tributaries of the median vein, potentially fistulous communications can be located at some dis­tance from the pouch (Figs. 3.10, 3.13). They usually occur at the level of the interventricular foramen, where they can recruit a specific perforat­ing branch (Fig. 3.13) from the anterior communicating artery or the Heubner artery. Some multifocal AVSs can associate mural communica­tions with an additional shunting zone at the rostral end of the choroid fissure (Fig. 3.10). In this case, a choroidal venous segment is seen prior to its opening into the ectatic vein.
The venous drainage of the VGAM is, by definition,toward the dilated median vein of the prosencephalon,forerunner of the Galen vein,and no communication exists with the deep venous system of the brain nuclei.In VGAM patients,thalamostriate veins open into the posterior and inferior thalamic (diencephalic) veins, as occurs normally during the 3rd month in utero (Figs. 3.21,3.22).They secondarily join the anterior confluence,a subtemporal vein,or (more often) the lateral mesencephalic vein to open into the superior petrosal sinus, demonstrating a typical epsilon shape on the lateral angiogram (see Figs. 3.23, 3.24). In older children, the choroidal veins opening into the VGAM may become visible; if restriction in the skull base outlet has occurred (see Fig. 3.25) subependymal-striate anastomoses may open and become visible on the venous phase of verte­bral angiograms. These can be the cause of intraventricular hemorrhages following transvenous approaches.
The remainder of the venous drainage is variable, with the straight sinus being absent in almost all cases. Falcine dural channel(s) drain the pouch toward the posterior third of the superior sagittal sinus,which also happens to be where granulations are expected to appear first (see Chap. 2, this volume). In most cases, restrictions at the venodural

junction or in the falx create upstream and downstream turbulence and significant dilatations (Fig. 3.25). Other embryonic sinuses persist, such as the occipital and marginal sinuses (Fig. 3.26),particularly in neonates. The appearance of the remainder of the venous system is difficult to pre­dict, even though all cerebral veins converge at birth toward the posteri­or sinuses. A few months after birth, the cavernous sinus matures and is able to „capture“ the sylvian veins,offering the brain a potential drainage through the orbit, pterygoid plexus, or inferior petrosal sinus (Fig. 3.27). Drainage of the cerebral veins into unusual transcranial channels may take place, apparently without significant functional implications (Figs. 3.28,3.29). The plasticity of the venous system in these instances is remarkable. Although the anatomic framework is exact and predictable, it is crucial to remember that it changes with spontaneous modification of the hemodynamics, the influence on growth and maturation induced by the disease and, eventually, the treatment undertaken. The timing of interference with this anatomic maturation continuum is as important as the extent of the corrections proposed.At this age,it is more important to restore normal growth conditions than a normal appearance, which is often the therapeutic goal in adults.
Other midline malformations (clefts, sinus pericranii, coarctation) have been noted in some rare cases, although they rarely correspond to existing or potential syndromes (Fig. 3.30).

Subcallosal anastomosis between right and left posterior cerebral arteries (PCAs) (A, B) is likely to correspond to an asymmetrical maturation of the limbic circle. Note the right A1 agenesis (C),and P2 on the left (D). Bilateral distribution of the left ante­rior cerebral artery (ACA) (E, F). These features point to the capacity of midline fusion in the limbic system as well as ACA remnants
