title: [The treatment of hydrocephalus by ventriculojugular shunting].
abstract: A total of 43 patients with hydrocephalus of various etiology were examined. Ventriculojugulostomy was performed in 20 patients, its modification in 23. Bypass surgery was made on the internal jugular vein in 9 patients, on the common facial vein in 9 and on the external jugular vein in 5. There was an improvement in 43 patients in the immediate postoperative period, which was followed by regression of global brain symptoms and cessation of hydrocephalus progression. Long-term results are known in 32 patients who were discharged having a well functioning drainage valvular system. The follow-ups lasted from 6 months to 17 years.
