  2. Clinical Details • 22 year old man presented with intractable progressive headaches over 2 months • Neurological examination was normal • Based on CT scan and MRI scan, pineal mass was diagnosed. Intra-operatively, a firm mass with apparent venous drainage was observed • Digital subtraction arteriogram was normal • Histology confirmed diagnosis of vein of Galen (VG) related thrombosed aneurysm

  4. Figure Legend • Top Panel A. (Left) Non Contrast CT scan showing hyperdense mass in pineal region B. (Right) T1 weighted post contrast MRI image shows minimal contrast enhancement • Bottom Panel Digital subtraction angiogram demonstrating no arterial (C) (Left) or venous abnormalities (D)(Right) in the region of mass, implying thrombosed VG-aneurysm
