Nach der Schule studierte Hans Zocher von 1912 bis Burgruine Liebenstein 1914 Chemie, Physik, Mathematik und Mineralogie an den Universitäten Leipzig und Jena. Mit Beginn des Ersten Weltkriegs wurde er zum Militär als Frontkämpfer eingezogen und erlitt 1916 bei Kampfhandlungen sehr schwere Verletzungen, wobei seine linke Gesichtshälfte lebenslang entstellt wurde. Während der Rekonvaleszenz konnte er oftmals ein Mineralogisches Museum besuchen und setzte danach bis 1919 sein Studium an der Universität Berlin fort.

Cerebrospinal Fluid: History, Collection Techniques, Indications
REVIEW ARTICLE J Bras Patol Med Lab. 2020; 56: 1-11. Cerebrospinal fluid: history, collection techniques, indications, contraindications and complications Líquido cefalorraquidiano: história, técnicas de coleta, indicações, contraindicações e complicações 10.5935/1676-2444.20200054 João Paulo S. Oliveira; Natalia T. Mendes; Álvaro R. Martins; Wilson Luiz Sanvito Hospital Santa Casa de São Paulo, São Paulo, São Paulo, Brazil. ABSTRACT This article is based on a historical review of the medical literature with the purpose of acknowledging the historical stages and anatomical findings over the years, which led gradually to performance of the first lumbar puncture by Quincke, as well as collection techniques and analyses, allowing it to be an irreplaceable diagnostic tool in daily clinical practice. Cerebrospinal fluid analyses have continued to develop and nowadays play a major role in diagnosing and understanding the physiopathology of a great variety of neurological conditions. Biomarkers and genetic sequencing have recently been the target of multiple studies and are implicated as promising diagnostic tools of a large range of diseases. Key words: cerebrospinal fluid; history; spinal puncture. RESUMO Este artigo se baseia em uma revisão histórica da literatura médica cujo objetivo foi reconhecer as etapas e os achados anatômicos ao longo dos anos do desempenho de Quincke – desde a primeira punção lombar –, bem como as técnicas e as análises de coleta que permitiram que essa punção se tornasse uma ferramenta insubstituível na prática clínica diária. As análises do líquido cefalorraquidiano continuaram se desenvolvendo e hoje desempenham um papel importante no diagnóstico e na compreensão da fisiopatologia de diversas condições neurológicas. Recentemente, biomarcadores e sequenciamento genético foram objeto de vários estudos e são considerados técnicas de diagnóstico promissoras para uma grande variedade de doenças. -

Cambridge University Press 978-0-521-86919-5 - The Pseudotumor Cerebri Syndrome: Pseudotumor Cerebri, Idiopathic Intracranial Hypertension, Benign Intracranial Hypertension and Related Conditions Ian Johnston, Brian Owler and John Pickard Excerpt More information 1 Introduction The condition or syndrome to be considered in this monograph has been a clearly recognized clinical entity since the descriptions given by Quincke (1893, 1897) and Nonne (1904, 1914) over 100 years ago. However, reports of cases which were almost certainly examples of the same condition undoubtedly antedated their pioneering accounts by almost four decades. The essential elements of the syndrome are the symptoms and signs of intracranial hypertension without ventricular dilatation and without an intracranial mass lesion. For reasons which will be made clear in the following chapters, we shall call it the pseudotumor cerebri syndrome (PTCS) although quite a variety of terms have been applied to it. It is a particularly intriguing condition for a number of reasons, as follows: 1. Clinically the condition presents an essentially pure picture of raised intracranial pressure (ICP) without focal neurological disturbance and without investigative evidence of structural disturbance, either focal or general. As such, it is a condition which manifests, in isolation, what is a critical component of many neurological and neurosurgical conditions, i.e. intracranial hypertension, thereby creating a situation in which the pathological effects of this component exist in a pure form. 2. Despite much speculation and numerous clinical and laboratory studies (although clinical investigations are constrained by the exigent circumstances of the condition and laboratory studies by lack of a suitable model) there is still no clear consensus on its mechanism, although the predominant view is that the intracranial hypertension is due to a disturbance of cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) dynamics. -
