Fetal MRI demonstrating vein of Galen malformations in two successive pregnancies—a previously unreported occurrence

Purpose Vein of Galen malformations are rare and are usually detected in utero using ultrasonography. No definite genetic predisposition has been described in the literature. We present a case with two successive pregnancies complicated by vein of Galen malformations, which were assessed using fetal MRI. The putative role of genetic mutations is also discussed.
