“Babies with Vein of Galen Malformation normally develop the condition during the first trimester of pregnancy. It results in abnormal arteries that connect directly into the precursor of the Vein of Galen instead of connecting with capillaries. This leads to extra pressure in the vein. It can bleed or dilate to prevent the drainage of the fluids inside the brain or cause a rush of blood towards the heart and lungs, causing extreme pressure on the right side of the heart, leading to congestive heart failure,”

“If not diagnosed and treated early, VOGM can cause delayed mental development and is potentially life-threatening. The condition is rare and at Hamad General Hospital we have performed only five or six operations of this type in the past five years. For this baby, our team used a procedure known as endovascular catheter embolization. This involved the insertion of a micro-catheter into an artery in the groin. The micro-catheter was guided up to the brain and a glue-like substance was injected into the shunt sites to close them without affecting the arteries or veins of the brain. Usually, this is done in two or three sessions to avoid a sudden change in the hemodynamics of the brain,”
