Use of the miniature Ommaya's reservoir in the treatment of extremely low birth-infant (under 1,000 mg) with hydrocephalus was studied in a series of five patients. The reservoir has a small-caliber with a 3 cm ventricular catheter. For these infants, this miniature Ommaya's reservoir is extremely useful for protection of the cortical mantle until a definitive procedure can be carried out after increase of body weight. The clinical course in five cases are summarized.
