It is usually located in the subpial space in the intracranial cavity with a high-flow shunt. Case Presentation: Authors report on a 2-year-old child with intracranial pial arteriovenous fistula and progressive enlargement of head and seizures mimicking progressive obstructive hydrocephalus for eight months. Cranial computed tomography showed a hyperdense midline vein of Galen and enlarged straight sinus associated with obstructive hydrocephalus. Presence of an aneurysm of the vein of Galen was suspected. Conclusion: Authors believe that cranial screening with computed tomography for suspected early diagnosis is of high importance. %> http://irjns.org/article-1-76-en.pdf %P 67-63 %& 67 %!
