Abstract

The aneurysm of the Galen vein is a rare and complex congenital intracerabral vascular malformation. We report a case suspected by the obstetric ultrasound in the third trimester and confirmed by the transfontanellar Doppler ultrasound and brain CT-Scan in the asymptomatic 11-day old baby born at term.
