Kobe’s story: How a challenging VOGM diagnosis strengthened a family | Boston Children's Hospital

When a prenatal ultrasound revealed that Kobe had an extraordinarily complex type of VOGM (vein of Galen malformation) inside of his brain, his parents knew they needed to act. Traveling from North Carolina, they sought help at Boston Children’s Cerebrovascular Surgery and Interventions Center. Learn how Dr. Darren Orbach and his team were able to tackle this particularly challenging VOGM and see just how strong little Kobe is.
