Abstract

Galen vein aneurysm is a extremely rare congenital malformation. Prenatal diagnosis is possible with ultrasonography. In our case prenatal diagnosis was made. Although cardiovascular system appears normal during prenatal life, postnatal diagnosis is grim with progressive hyperdynamic cardiomyopathy, pulmonary hypertension and multiple organ failure. Even with prenatal diagnosis and early intervention infant succumbed to heart failure short after birth in our case.

Abstract

Galen veni anevrizmal malformasyonu (GVAM) çok nadir görülen konjenital bir malformasyondur. Özellikle prenatal tanısı ultrasonografi ve renkli dopler ultrasonografi ile konabilmektedir. Bizim vakamızda prenatal tanısı konan galen ven anevrizmalı bir fetüs idi. Özellikle galen ven anevrizmasının prenatal tanısının konması doğumdan sonra erken müdahale açısından avantaj sağlamaktadır. Doğumdan sonra klinik durumları çok iyi görünse de bu vakalarda çok kısa zamanda hiperdinamik kardiyomyopati, pulmoner hipertansiyon ve multipl organ yetmezliği ile hızlıca ölümler görülebilir. Bizim vakamızda ise prenatal tanı konmasına rağmen postnatal dönemde çok kısa zamanda komplikasyonlar gelişerek müdahale yapılamamış ve hasta kaybedilmiştir.
