Description
Introduction Distinguished as an anatomist, pathologist, and clinician, the Frenchman Charles Prosper Ollivier d’Angers dedicated his life to accelerating the forefront of neuroscience. At a young age, he explored the diseases and disorders of the spinal cord during a time when clinical neurological investigation scarcely existed. Ollivier d’Angers coined the term “syringomyelia.” Conclusion The coinage of the term syringomyelia by d’Angers shed light on the disorder causing more practitioners to investigate the spinal cord and its defects.
