Excerpt from Serology of Nervous and Mental DiseasesThe credit for first withdrawing cerebrospinal ¿uid from a patient ought, properly, by right of priority, to go to an American physician, Dr. J. L. Corning, who performed the puncture in Essex Wynter conceived the plan of diminishing intracranial pressure by performing ventricular puncture. Later, in a patient in whom the fontanels had prematurely closed, and it was desirable to diminish the intracranial pressure, the Spinal route had to be resorted to for the purpose of withdrawing the cerebrospinal ¿uid. This was performed in 1889, and although the technic' was crude, it nevertheless served as a stimulus to other workers further to elaborate the study of lumbar puncture. The first paper by Quincke on the technic of lumbar puncture and the study of the cerebrospinal ¿uid appeared in 1891. The thoroughness with which the subject was treated, and the painstaking studies that followed on the steps of the German investigator, justify the coupling of his name with the Operation of lumbar puncture, in fact, with the entire subject of research work done on the cerebrospinal ¿uid. Following closely the publications of Quincke appeared those of Sicard, Nissl, and others.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
