Gilles de la Tourette and the discovery of Tourette syndrome. Includes a translation of his 1884 article.

In 1885, Gilles de la Tourette described 9 patients who suffered from a disorder characterized by involuntary movements, echolalia, echopraxia, coprolalia, and strange, uncontrollable sounds. In his article, Gilles de la Tourette presented some earlier descriptions of this disorder. To appreciate what first led Gilles de la Tourette to Tourette syndrome, however, it is necessary to turn to an article that he published a year earlier. In his 1884 article, Gilles de la Tourette cited several movement disorders that he thought were similar to each other, yet different from true chorea. After describing these disorders, namely, "jumping" of Maine, latah of Malaysia, and miryachit of Siberia, he briefly mentioned a boy in Charcot's ward in Paris, France, who seemed to exhibit the same condition. In an addendum, he then said that other cases were now surfacing in Paris and that he would write an additional article describing these individuals. To achieve a more thorough understanding of the events that led Gilles de la Tourette to his 1885 description of the disorder that now bears his name, we herein present an English-language translation of his 1884 article along with a commentary.

Antonio de Gimbernat (1734-1816). Anatomist and surgeon.

While one of us (J.P.-L.) was completing his surgical internship at the Henry Ford Hospital of Detroit, Mich, during 1954 to 1956, he found with surprise that, although surgeons at the hospital could speak Gimbernat's ligament with reference to the treatment of crural hernia, practically none was aware that Antonio de Gimbernat was Spanish-Catalan, to be exact. Others ventured he might be French. We also observed, while attending the celebration of the centennial publication of Bassini's technique in Padua, Italy (1987), that a surprising number of European university professors also believed that Gimbernat was French. Since then, we who have held the same chair for more than 20 years at the Santa Cruz and San Pablo Hospital of Barcelona, Spain, that Gimbernat held in the 18th century have endeavored to vindicate the name of Antonio de Gimbernat i Arbós as the Spanish-Catalan anatomist and surgeon for whom a ligament was named and a surgical technique defined. When applied to the strangulated crural hernia, this surgical technique offers greater promise to the patient during surgery.
