ABSTRACT

Professor Charcot had several pupils in his famous neurological service at the Salpêtrière Hospital in Paris, France. Among them, Édouard Brissaud was one of Charcot’s favorite pupils, temporarily becoming his successor after Charcot’s death. Brissaud’s neurological contributions were significant, including the description of hemifacial spasm, “geste antagoniste” in dystonia, pseudobulbar affect, post-traumatic stress disorder, the Brissaud-Sicard syndrome, and Brissaud’s sign. Additionally, Brissaud was the first to suggest that Parkinson’s disease pathology could be related to the substantia nigra.

RESUMO

Professor Charcot teve vários discípulos em seu famoso serviço de neurologia no hospital Salpêtrière, em Paris, França. Dentre eles, Édouard Brissaud foi um dos pupilos favoritos de Charcot. Após a morte de Charcot, em 1893, Brissaud foi o seu sucessor temporário. Suas contribuições neurológicas foram muito expressivas, incluindo a descrição do espasmo hemifacial, do “geste antagoniste”, da paralisia pseudobulbar, do transtorno de estresse pós-traumático, a síndrome de Brissaud-Sicard, e também do sinal de Brissaud. Além disso, Brissaud, sugeriu pela primeira vez no mundo, que a patologia da doença de Parkinson poderia estar relacionada à substância negra.
