Abstract
PARENTS of an infant with internal hydrocephalus are interested, whether or not they are aware of it or admit it to themselves, not in survival of their child but in a chance for normal development. Although danger to the child's life itself may be the first problem such parents face, it soon becomes apparent that the possibility of sustaining a hopeless defective may be a much more devastating tragedy.From the surgeon's point of view, there is certainly little incentive to perform operations that permit life to go on but do not allow cerebral growth and development to proceed at . . .
