Abstract
Vein of Galen aneurysmal malformation (VGAM) is a pediatric intracranial vascular abnormality that is characterized by multiple arteriovenous shunts draining into a dilated median prosencephalic vein of Markowski.[1] The varied clinical presentations and their distinctive and complex angio-architecture make it important for the caring physician to understand the correlation. Most cases present in neonatal life with congestive cardiac failure. We report a rare case of aneurysm of vein of Galen diagnosed in a toddler with initial manifestation mimicking neuro-regressive disorder.
 
Keywords: Vein of galen malformation; Neuro-regression; CT angiography.
