What kind of relationship they had with each determined to pay homage other, if any, is not part of recorded history. But the lives of a direct descendant of each—Dr. Harvey Williams Cushing, the father of neurosurgery and a to a seminal American pioneer in endocrinology, and Dr. Nathan Smith, the founder of Dartmouth Medical School—were physician who lived a century destined to connect 300 years later.

    HISTORICAL VIGNETTE Cushing’s dogged struggle against death: the astonishing case of a patient under cardiac arrest surviving craniopharyngioma surgery Ruth Prieto, MD, PhD,1 and José María Pascual, MD, PhD2 1Department of Neurosurgery, Puerta de Hierro University Hospital; and 2Department of Neurosurgery, La Princesa University Hospital, Madrid, Spain The decisive role Dr. Harvey Cushing (1869–1939) played in medicine goes far beyond the development of neuro- surgery. His scientific devotion and commitment to patient care made him an ethical model of strict professionalism. This paper seeks to analyze the decisions Cushing made with the challenging case of HW, an adolescent boy with a craniopharyngioma (CP) involving the third ventricle. Cushing’s earlier failure to successfully remove two similar lesions alerted him to the proximity of HW’s tumor and the hypothalamus. Consequently, he decided to use the chiasm-splitting technique for the first time, with the aim of dissecting the CP-hypothalamus boundaries under direct view. Unexpectedly, HW suffered cardiac arrest during the surgery, but Cushing did not give up. He continued with the operation while his assistants performed resuscitation maneuvers. Such determined and courageous action allowed Cushing to succeed in an apparently hopeless case. Cushing’s unwavering willingness to save patients’ lives, even under extreme circumstanc- es, was a fundamental trait defining his identity as a neurosurgeon. Analyzing the way Cushing dealt with HW’s case provides valuable lessons for neurosurgeons

  • The Legacy of Harvey Cushing
    A Portrait in History The Legacy of Harvey Cushing Venita Jay, MD, FRCPC t is a formidable task for any biographer to record all of I the achievements of Harvey William Cushing, com- monly known as the Father of American Neurosurgery. Regarded as the leading neurosurgeon of the 20th century, Cushing was a tireless investigator, dedicated teacher, pro- li®c writer, gifted artist, and ardent bibliophile. His name is known to every medical student and is immortalized in the well-known Cushing syndrome, Cushing disease, Cushing re¯ex, and Cushing ulcer. Cushing also left a lasting legacy in pathology with his work on the pituitary gland and brain tumors. Cushing launched neurosurgery as a distinct discipline and ®rmly established it as a separate specialty. Every phase of Cushing's career has been the subject of intense scrutiny, with extensive biographies detailing his college days at Yale, medical training at Harvard, surgical resi- dency at Johns Hopkins, and the years at Peter Bent Brigh- am and Yale. There are also several well-known biogra- phies of Cushing, including those written by John F. Ful- ton, Elizabeth H. Thomson, and Justin F. Denzel. Born on April 8, 1869, in Cleveland, Ohio, Cushing was the youngest of 10 children, 7 of whom survived to ma- turity. His great-grandfather, grandfather, father, and old- er brother Ned were physicians. Cushing attended Yale College in New Haven, Conn, and graduated from that institution in 1891. While at Yale, Russell Chittenden en- couraged in Cushing an interest in physiological chemis- try. Cushing greatly admired his father and his brother Ned.
