RESUMO
Vein of Galen aneurysmal malformation (VGAM) is a rare, congenital, intracerebral arteriovenous malformation with a poor prognosis. This disorder commonly presents during the neonatal period and rarely in infancy and childhood. Reported here is a case of VGAM in a three-month-old female baby who presented with proptosis and intracranial calcifications, which are rare presentations of this rare entity. The diagnosis was confirmed by magnetic resonance imaging (MRI).
RESUMO
Fetus in fetu (FIF) is a rare congenital anomaly with two controversial theories regarding its embryogenesis. Although it is an extremely rare condition, it should be kept in mind as a differential diagnosis while evaluating children with abdominal calcification. Radiological findings on postnatal days 2 and 5 of a neonate with an antenatal scan showing an abdominal mass in the fetus are described here. Ultrasonography and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) revealed the mass in which the contents favored a diagnosis of the FIF. Characteristic features of FIF on MRI have been less explored and knowledge regarding the same will be of immense help to the radiologist. Complete surgical excision followed by histopathology confirmed the diagnosis.
