Abstract
Congestive heart failure is the usual complaint and cause of death in neonates with aneurysms of the great vein of Galen. Direct surgical obliteration of the feeding arteries cures the heart failure, but few such newborns survive the operation. The authors report a case of primary aneurysm of the great vein of Galen treated successfully by clipping the afferent arteries and reduction of the bulk of the aneurysm by bipolar coagulation. Five months after the operation the child's development is normal.Entities:
