Overview
Meningioma was first discovered by Dr. Felix Platter, a Swiss physician, in the 16th century. He described it as being round, fleshy and full of holes. Dr. Antonie Louis is known to be the first to attempt naming a meningioma.
Historical Perspective
- In 1614, the first case of meningioma was described by Dr. Felix Platter. He described the tumor as being round with a shape like an acorn. He said it was as large as a medium-sized apple, fleshy, and full of holes. The tumor had no connection with the brain matters, was covered with its own membrane, and a cavity was left behind after its removal.[1]
- In 1774, Antonie Louis was acknowledged to have had the first major attempt at naming meningiomas with his scientific treatise devoted to meningiomas: "Sur les tumeurs fongueuses de la dure-mère" meaning "fungoid tumors of the dura mater" when translated to English. This was published in the Memoires of the ARC (académie royale de chirurgie).[2]
- In 1910, a very large meningioma was successfully removed from the brain of General Leonard Wood by Dr. Harvey Cushing. General Leonard Wood was a physician and also chief of staff of the US Army.[3]
