All children with cerebral arteriovenous fistula or vein of Galen aneurysmal malformations aged below 18 years at onset were included. We recorded the nature of the genetic variant or absence of variant, age at onset, type of malformation, symptoms at onset (hemorrhage, neurological deficit, hydrocephalus, incidental, and heart failure), type of venous drainage and the long-term outcome.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Results<\/jats:title><jats:p>One hundred and fifteen children were included. Autosomal dominant variants were identified in 39% of patients. The most frequent variant affected was the <jats:italic>RASA1<\/jats:italic> gene (25%) followed by <jats:italic>EPHB4<\/jats:italic> (8%) and the HHT-associated genes (5%). HHT gene variants were only observed in pial arteriovenous fistula not draining into the vein of Galen; on the contrary, <jats:italic>EPHB4<\/jats:italic> variants were only seen in genuine vein of Galen aneurysmal malformation. <jats:italic>RASA1<\/jats:italic> variants were identified in all types of shunts.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Conclusions<\/jats:title><jats:p><jats:italic>EPHB4<\/jats:italic> variants seem specific to the vein of Galen aneurysmal malformation, <jats:italic>RASA1<\/jats:italic> variants are associated with either pial arteriovenous fistulas or with genuine VGAM and HHT gene variants seem specific to pial arteriovenous fistulas. The genetic data helps to classify these malformations and to guide treatment toward lowest risk of post-operative cerebral ischemic-hemorrhagic
