Abstract
Maintenance of normal intracranial pressure is crucial to the developm ent of the neonatal brain. Certainly, neonatal hydrocephalus will pert urb cerebral development and calls for careful and timely intervention . Many competing factors must be taken into account when evaluating th e neonate with hydrocephalus. A neurosurgical approach to the manageme nt of neonatal hydrocephalus is presented with emphasis on practical t reatment paradigms.
