Coarctation of aorta and vein of Galen aneurysmal malformation in a neonate.
OBJECTIVE
A case report of a newborn with coarctation of aorta and severe vein of Galen malformation.


RESULTS
This case report reviews literature on congenital heart disease and intracranial arteriovenous malformations. Emphasis is laid on diagnostic challenges and management options.
