Abstract
We describe the case of a 4-month-old infant with evolving spontaneous thrombosis of vein of Galen malformation. It is an anomaly that occurs most often in children, with a high mortality due to the accompanying severe cardiac failure. Spontaneous thrombosis of vein of Galen malformation is rare. There are several proposed mechanisms of spontaneous thrombosis notable ones being slow flow shunts and severe obstruction of the venous outflow. The absence of blood flow at the deep cerebral venous system due to malformation thrombosis, along with absence of signs or symptoms of intracranial hypertension led us to conservative treatment of the patient presented here.
