The rational surgical tactics at progressive hydrocephalus was developed and applied that provided decrease of malfunctions frequency of the shunt systems from 21,9 to 9,4%, infectious-inflammatory complications — from 18,2 to 10,7%, mortality — from 8,2 to 1,5%. The program complex for prediction of hydrocephalus outcomes, caused by perinatal brain injury, was offered and quantitative evaluation of prognostic factors was made.
