Fetal ultrasonography supplied the diagnosis of hydrocephalus after 35 weeks of pregnancy. After birth, the diagnosis was confirmed by clinical examination and CT Scan. Psychomotor development was normal with stabilization of the hydrocephalus without any treatment. In view of this case, the authors discussed the indications for antenatal surgical treatment of hydrocephalus cases diagnosed in utero.
