abstract: We present a case of an aneurysm of Galen vein in an infant with concomitant large hydrocephalus, treated by ventriculoperitoneal shunting and combined transtorcular-transfemoral embolization with a good clinical outcome. The technical aspect of the procedure is described in detail; current concepts concerning the pathophysiology and data in the available literature are reviewed.
