  • Title: Vein of Galen Aneurysmal Malformation Presenting As Persistent Pulmonary Hypertension in a Newborn: A Case Report.
    Author: Amendolia B, Bhat V, Poletto E, Jaspreet A, Robinson B.
    Journal: Cureus; 2024 Aug; 16(8):e67191. PubMed ID: 39295698.
    Abstract:
    We present a case of a newborn infant with a vein of Galen aneurysmal malformation (VOGM) who was admitted to our neonatal intensive care unit (NICU) with the diagnosis of persistent pulmonary hypertension of the newborn (PPHN). Further work-up at our institution, which included an echocardiogram and cranial ultrasound revealed VOGM. The patient was transferred to a children's center for further management of the vascular malformation where the patient subsequently died from high cardiac output heart failure. This study highlights the importance of considering a VOGM as a rare cause of PPHN in an infant.
