320 children were operated on for occlusive hydrocephalus for 10 years (2003―2012). Infant patients amounted to 93.4%, of these newborns were 29.2%. An endoscopic technique was used to restore physiological liquor circulation and compensate for hydrocephalus without shunt implantation. The positive outcome was observed in 75% of cases. Occlusion of the subarachnoid space occurred in the other cases, which required a combination of neuroendoscopic intervention and shunt implantation. There were no complications and mortality associated with an operative trauma.
