[Cardiac failure caused by arteriovenous malformation in the area of Galen's vein. Treatment by endovascular embolization].
The authors report a case, in a 7-month-old girl, of cerebral arteriovenous malformation with a vein of Galen ectasia, complicated by a congestive heart failure and hydrocephalus. The clinical diagnosis was carried out by fontanelle auscultation and confirmed by: cerebral echography. Döppler exploration, computerized tomography and cerebral angiography. A cerebral embolization permitted reduction of cardiac insufficiency and stabilisation of the hydrocephalus.
