description Vein of Galen malformation (VoGM) is a rare type of arteriovenous fistula, and its symptoms can range from being asymptomatic to causing life-threatening heart failure. In this case report, we present a 1-month-old infant with the mural type of VoGM, which was identified through newborn screening sonography. Subsequent 1-year follow-up findings with cranial ultrasound are also discussed. Doppler cranial ultrasound proves advantageous for the convenient monitoring of this medically stable infant with VoGM.
