The Charles Bonnet syndrome: a review.

The Charles Bonnet syndrome (CBS) derives from complex visual hallucinations. Neurologists, ophthalmologists, and psychiatrists have studied this entity for many years. Despite interest in CBS recently in contemporary American medical literature, investigators have not agreed upon a universal definition of this entity. This article reviews the current literature on CBS and related phenomena, offers specific criteria to define this syndrome, and suggests future work in this area.

The anatomy and embryological origins of the fascia of Denonvilliers: a medico-historical debate.

PURPOSE: We reviewed the conflicting theories concerning the anatomy and embryological derivation of Denonvilliers' fascia since its first description in 1836. MATERIALS AND METHODS: An extensive review of the literature for the last 160 years was done. RESULTS: Various studies contributed to the debate on the anatomy and origins of Denonvilliers' fascia. We chose to review these studies because of their sound methodology, large numbers of cases and results, and the high quality of the macroscopic and/or microscopic evidence. CONCLUSIONS: Denonvilliers' fascia consists of a single layer arising from fusion of the 2 walls of the embryological peritoneal cul-de-sac. Histologically, it has a double-layered quality. The fascia of Denonvilliers extends from the deepest point of the interprostatorectal peritoneal pouch to the pelvic floor. A so-called posterior layer is in reality the rectal fascia propria.

Frey syndrome before Frey: the correct history.

OBJECTIVE: To review the chronology of publications on gustatory sweating before Frey's landmark publication. METHODS: Reports on Frey syndrome were reviewed, and all references given to publications before 1950 were obtained and examined. References to prior publications in the obtained articles were similarly reviewed. The cases described in these publications were analyzed for their compatibility with the accepted clinical symptoms of Frey syndrome. RESULTS: Despite numerous references, the case described by Duphenix in 1757 is most probably a traumatic parotid fistula. The first reported case of Frey syndrome should be attributed to Baillarger in 1853.

One century after the description of the "sign": Joseph Babinski and his contribution to neurosurgery.

One hundred years ago, in 1896, Joseph Babinski published a preliminary report on "réflexe cutané plantaire" (cutaneous plantar reflex), which became widely known as the Babinski sign. However, Babinski did not view the description of the sign as his major achievement. Instead, he considered his greatest contribution to medicine to be his having "... indiqué la voie à Martel et à Vincent" (pointed the way to Thierry de Martel and Clovis Vincent, founders of French neurosurgery). Several of Babinski's manuscripts deal with neurosurgical problems. In 1900, 1 year before Alfred Fröhlich's description, Babinski gave the first account of the adiposogenital syndrome and its relation to pituitary-hypothalamic disorder. Many other original contributions ensued. These include a report on the relief of papilledema by surgical decompression in 1901, the successful removal (in collaboration with de Martel) of an intracranial meningioma in 1909, the description (again with de Martel) of a cerebellopontine angle tumor treated by surgical excision with good result in 1925, and several manuscripts concerning diagnosis and treatment of compressive spinal cord lesions. Babinski's dream to establish a department of neurosurgery became a reality shortly after his death. The Hôpital de la Pitie in Paris, where Babinski did most of his work, established the first French department of neurosurgery chaired by Babinski's pupil, Vincent.

Maurice Klippel.

Maurice Klippel (1858-1942) was a turn-of-the-century French internist with a special interest in neurology and psychiatry. He authored numerous medical papers in these disciplines, but is best known to spine surgeons for his description, co-authored with Andre Feil, of a patient with congenital fusion of the cervical vertebrae, a condition now known as Klippel-Feil syndrome.

The rise and fall of Erichsen's disease (railroad spine).

The railroad represented one of the major technologic achievements of the 19th century. Sadly, railroad collisions, which resulted in major injuries and loss of life, began to tarnish the image of this popular mode of transportation. Public alarm about rail travel intensified in 1866, when noted British surgeon John Eric Erichsen described a peculiar progressive spinal disorder, similar to spinal concussion, that was a sequela to railroad accident or injury. The history of this disorder, which came to be known as "railroad spine" or "Erichsen's disease", represents a little known yet important chapter in the evolution of the modern comprehension of functional illness that can complicate or even replace an initial substrate of organic disease.
