title: Vein of Galen aneurysm associated with dural AVM and straight sinus thrombosis. Case report.
abstract: A 64-year-old man presented with symptoms of obstructive hydrocephalus secondary to a vein of Galen aneurysm associated with a dural arteriovenous malformation and straight sinus thrombosis. The interrelationship of these lesions and their clinical and radiological features are discussed. It is proposed that in this case sinus thrombosis was the primary event in the subsequent development of the other lesions.
