The authors report a case of thrombosed vein of Galen aneurysm in a 4.5-year-old girl with craniofacial dysostosis (Crouzon's disease). Six previously reported cases appear in the literature. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

Embryos were collected by natural spawning, and raised in fish water with methylene blue at 28.5 C. [doi.org]

Although the number of patients is small, the risk for progressive dementia in this group is higher than in patients with other dural AVMs. [neupsykey.com]

One of the most important goals of medical treatment is to permit normal oral feeding, which ensures weight gain and allows the child to go home and to return at 5 months of age for embolization. [radiologykey.com]

Mild symptoms include feeding difficulties, lack of weight gain, and tachycardia. Chest radiographs show cardiomegaly, especially involving the right side. If the cardiac failure is mild, medical treatment generally suffices. [radiologykey.com]

Theoretically, when left ventricular dysfunction owing to chronic volume overload occurs, digoxin should be beneficial. Dobutamine and dopamine may be used in severe situations to improve cardiac output. [radiologykey.com]

Six had a large degree of vascular steal demonstrated by cerebral angiography and all had significant parenchymal loss on initial CT. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

Hepatomegaly with hepatic dysfunction, prerenal azotemia followed by oliguria, and metabolic and lactic acidosis are also present in severe cardiac failure and are negative predictive factors. [neupsykey.com]

Other features may include increased head circumference resulting from hydrocephalus, unusually prominent veins on the face and scalp, developmental delay, persistent headache, and other neurological findings. [1] [2] [3] Vein of Galen aneurysm is often [rarediseases.info.nih.gov]

The initial symptom typically falls into one of four categories: intracranial hemorrhage, seizure, headache and focal neurologic problems. Children are more likely to present with hemorrhage than adults. [childrenshospital.vanderbilt.org]

The child developed normally over the next six years, but then a sudden headache occurred, followed quickly by coma. CT revealed an intraventricular hemorrhage from the malformation and evidence of hydrocephalus. [nejm.org]

Case 2 An 8-year-old boy presented with 7 months history of recurrent headaches that were worse in the morning and associated with blurring of vision. The headaches were preceded by a 1-week history of irrational speech and behavior. [wajradiology.org]

Sometimes they can cause seizures or headaches. AVMs are rare. The cause is not known, but they seem to develop during pregnancy or soon after birth. Doctors use imaging tests to detect them. Medicines can help with the symptoms from AVMs. [icdlist.com]

MR imaging ( Fig. 12 ) may show focal white matter lesions or diffuse destruction of the brain (the melting brain), which is generally associated with severe cardiac insufficiency. [radiologykey.com]

On physical examination, he presented in an adequate nutritional status; head circumference was normal, without visceromegalies or evidence of cardiac failure, but with an irregular breathing pattern. [austinpublishinggroup.com]
