Vein of GALEN aneurysmal malformation (VGAM) is a rare congenital disease caused by arteriovenous shunts between the choroidal arteries and the porencephalic ectatic vein. The diagnosis is often made in utero or during infancy, endovascular treatment remains the most suitable therapeutic means in a well-equipped environment. Here we report here the case of a patient complaining of headache for 1 year, and whose brain CT imaging showed the presence of Galen vein aneurysm with associated non-communicating hydrocephalus. In the absence of the appropriate technical platform, the placement of a ventriculoperitoneal shunt relieved our patient’s symptoms.
