ThU is an affliction char, actcrlxed by an enlarged and usually misshapen head, caused by the pres aure of. blocked fluid ac cumulating in the infanta brain. I'nless this preMura is re lieved, sever hydrocephalus can result in death, or Jifclonf blindness r mental retard, tion. Hut a treat deal of precress has been made in combating this dueaie. The National Koundation-March ct Dime point cut that the infant death rate in the United State from hydrocephalus is failing sub stantially. However, an im mediate word cf caution: this reduction in the death rate is not to say that there is any decrease in the number of tables born each year with hydrocephalus. What is happening is that many more ox them are sur vivinf. In this country, the annual total of infants now born with water on the brain (an other way of defining hydro cephalus) is estimated at more than 15,000. Of these. 8.000 are stillborn or die before the age of one month. ApDalline as that total is. hydrocephalus accounts for far fewer infant deaths than oc curred only a few years ago. Tor instance, the death rate during the decade 1953-1962 declined by one-third. This means that 579 fewer infants died from hydrocephalus in 192 than in 1953. What accounts for this ex traordinary and heartening re duction in deaths from a dread and mysterious condition that predates recorded history? Dr. Martin P. Savers, a wide ly known authority on hydro cephalus and a neurosurgeon at the March of Dimes Birth Defects Center, Children's Hospital, Columbus, Ohio, at tributes the drop in the mor tality rate to two factors; "The first," he explains, is that fewer parents nowadays at tempt to cover up the birth of a defective baby.

Says: , ntureswrgaan, at March f Dimes irth Defects Ctntr, Children's Hocpitol, Colwmbwt, Ohle. inite reform in attitudes toward birth defects has been brought about in quite recent years by potent and constant doses of public education. "The second factor Is the re cent and substantial improve ment in the techniques of 'shunt' surgery. In this area there are refinements every year. There are fewer compli cations sucti as clogging in the shunt tube in the head and in fections arising from it In general, too, we are now able to operate earlier on these babies before the accumulat ing pressure damages both sight and intellect and en danpers the infant's life." "Shunt surgery in hydro cephalus means the insertion ! of a fine plastic tube into the brain cavity passage where the circulating fluid is 'dam med" so that it flows away harmlessly into the blood stream and thus relieves the pressure on the optic and other nerves. A specialist in this delicate technique, Dr. Sayers has per formed about 1,000 such shunts. "Let me say that contributors to The National Foundation- -March of Dimes deserve the gratitude of the medical pro fession, as well as that of pres ent and future parents, for making possible greatly ex panded teaching in this field through medical school grants," Dr. Sayers declared.
