Full Description
This book provides a comprehensive overview of the anatomical eponyms in use in anatomy and in clinical disciplines. It includes brief descriptions of those to whom eponyms were given with personal data, their relevant publications and illustrations. For the illustrations, engravings, portraits or photographs are included as well as examples of the original illustrations or newer ones showing what is meant by a certain eponym. The book contains three Sections: Section I The Classical Anatomical Eponyms, in which the major classical eponyms on arteries, bands, bodies, bundles, canals, corpuscles, ducts, fasciae, fibres, folds, foramina, fossae, ganglia, glands, ligaments, membranes, muscles, nerves, nodes, nuclei, plexuses, spaces, triangles, tubercles, valves and veins are summarized. This Section clearly shows that in various countries, different eponyms are given for the same structure. Section II lists the anatomical eponyms together with some relevant histological, embryological and anthropological eponyms, from A-Z. In Section III, anatomical eponyms in use in Abdominal Surgery, Dentistry, Neurology, Obstetrics and Gynaecology, Oncology, Ophthalmology, Orthopaedics, Otology, Phlebology, and Radiology of the Digestive System are discussed. Sections II and III are both abundantly illustrated.
The book is intended for advanced medical students, anatomists, and clinicians using anatomical eponyms in their daily practice. Unique to the book is the combination of descriptions of the anatomical eponyms with illustrations.
