    Abstract:
    The authors present a report on 64 children operated between January 1, 1982 and December 31, 1986 on account of infantile hydrocephalus. As the primary operation in the great majority of children ventriculo-atrial drainage with a valve according to Spitz- Holter (60 times) was indicated, in exceptional cases ventriculo-mastoidostomy according to Nosik without a valve (four times). Thirty-eight patients (59%) had to be re-operated, some repeatedly on account of different disorders of the system. Most frequently the valve failed (22 times). Forty-four children (62.6%) of the group survive. Twenty-four (37.6%) thrive, sixteen are retarded as regards psychomotor development (25%), thirteen died (20.3%), eleven did not attend examination (17.1%).
