Experimental endo-uterine hydrocephalus in foetal sheep and surgical treatment by ventriculo-amniotic shunt

After creating an experimental foetal hydrocephalus in sheep, we achieved its treatment utilizing the implantation of a ventriculo-amniotic shunt (mini-unishunt). The results obtained were satisfactory. However, it is evident that the application of an experimental technique in human foetuses requires maximum caution.
