Untreated fetal hydrocephalus results in gross cranial and facial abnormalities and profound brain damage. In an attempt to prevent both, a ventriculoamniotic shunt was implanted in a fetus with probable X-linked aqueductal stenosis and hydrocephalus. Performed at 24 weeks' gestation, the procedure used techniques similar to those used for intrauterine transfusion. After shunt placement, the fetal head size grew normally until after the 32d week, when the shunt failed. A cesarean delivery was performed at 34 weeks' gestation. The infant received a standard ventriculoperitoneal shunt after delivery, and his neonatal course has been evaluated through the first three months of life. In selected cases, the ventriculoamniotic shunt may be an acceptable treatment for fetal hydrocephalus.
