Pediatric neurovascular malformations are rare. However, proper diagnosis and management are mandatory to achieve a good neurocognitive outcome. Among them several types can be identified with specificities for each. In the newborn and infancy, the most frequent cerebral venous malformation is vein of Galen aneurysmal malformation. It can be discovered antenatally, in neonates (mainly in cases with hemodynamic impact), or in infants presenting with macrocrania and hydrocephalus. Treatment of choice is endovascular, by transarterial selective occlusion of pathological vessels. Interventions
