A new ultrasound scan evidenced a fetus of male sex, the morphology was normal except the brain that presented a large cystic mass along the median line in topography of posterior fossa in axial plane (Fig. 1A). This cystic mass presented flow in power Doppler ultrasound (Fig. 1B). The 3D power and color Doppler allowed us to reconstruct the architecture of the vascular malformation, and it showed the spatial relationships of the aneurism of the vein of Galen with the other structures of the brain (Fig. 1C and D).
