[Neurosurgical treatment of developmental defects of the nervous system (ddns) in infants].
In a survey of 151 children treated surgically in the earliest period of life the author discusses the complex pathomechanism of damage to the nervous tissues in various age groups indicating important elements in the surgical management which may prevent secondary changes impairing human development in further life periods. In the follow-up 89.4% of children the previously inhibited development was resumed, at the level determined by the preserved nervous structure.
