ABSTRACT
A study of 24 children with gross hydrocephalus and very little brain mantle is presented. Ventriculoperitoneal shunts were inserted in all of them without any significant complications postoperatively. In two cases shunts had to be revised. Ventriculoperitoneal shunting is a safe procedure and offers promise of a return to normal life for a child who may appear to have very little brain mantle left
