Vein of Galen aneurysm – http://id.who.int/icd/entity/1884295064
Vein of Galen aneurysmal malformation (VGAM) is a congenital vascular malformation characterised by dilation of the embryonic precursor of the vein of Galen. It is a sporadic lesion that occurs during embryogenesis. Cardiac insufficiency of variable severity is the principle manifestation that leads to detection of the malformation in newborns.
