Abstract
- The article discusses a case of a 10-day-old newborn with a rare congenital intracranial arteriovenous defect known as Vein of Galen malformation (VGAM), which led to high-output heart failure. The patient presented with symptoms of respiratory distress, fatigue during feeding, and was diagnosed with acute RSV bronchiolitis initially. Imaging examinations were crucial in establishing the diagnosis and prognosis, leading to endovascular treatment that ultimately improved the patient's condition. The article highlights the importance of early diagnosis, multidisciplinary care, and advancements in treatment options for improving outcomes in patients with VGAM. [Extracted from the article]
