Abstract

A 27-year-old male was suffered from seizure due to Galenic aneurysmal malformation which was mainly fed by thalamoperforating, circumferential(P2) and posterior cerebral artery(P4) and drained through basal vein of Rosenthal because of agenesis of straight sinus. The aneurysmal dilatation was successfully extirpated by excision of feeding arteries and draining veins including inferior sagittal sinus and straight sinus. We report a case of true aneurysmal malformation of vein of Galen.
