A case of a 2-years and 4-months-old boy who were submitted to an endovascular treatment for the third time is presented. The patient was diagnosed from the prenatal stage of VOGM, an endovascular embolization was programmed and executed in feeding vessels with 60% of obliterated, after that the patient stays stable in the intensive care unit and finally the patient is discharged without complications.
