Despite modern supportive and endovascular treatment, more than one-third of unselected newborns with vein of Galen malformation did not survive. Outcome was good in around half of survivors. The importance of white matter injury suggests that abnormalities of venous as well as arterial circulation are important in the pathophysiology of brain injury. Ann Neurol 2018;84:547-555.
