Paul Martin (1891-1968). Un des fondateurs de la neurochirurgie en Belgique
As the first chief of an independent neurosurgical unit founded in Belgium in 1948, Paul Martin is to be regarded as the promoter of this speciality in Belgium. After graduation from the U.L.B. medical school, he was one of the first Belgian doctors to stay for two years (1920-22) in USA in the surgical departments of Halsted and Cushing. He returned to the Peter Bent Brigham Hospital in 1929 for one year as chief of the laboratory of experimental surgery. Through his publications, we try to explain the problems of diagnosis and surgical techniques at that time in comparison with the present day situation. At the beginning, the only test available besides the neurological signs to detect intracranial lesion were plain Xrays of the skull, ophthalmologic examination and cerebrospinal fluid examination. Anaesthesiology was still unsafe and intracranial hypertension was not under control in any way. During his professional career, he witnessed the development of various techniques to localize an intracranial mass such as the ventriculography, encephalography, electroencephalography and later angiography, myelography and iodoventriculography. The introduction of the use of the electrocoagulation was one of the major advances in surgical technique during his lifetime.SCOPUS: re.jinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishe

In 1955, he was one of the founders of "Neurochirurgie", the official journal of the "Société de neurochirurgie de langue française".SCOPUS: ar.jinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishe
CISTERNOGRAPHIE ET VENTRICULOGRAPHIE ISOTOPIQUES: A PROPOS D'UNE SERIE DE 110 CAS

La publicité autorisée? A propos de la modification du Code de Déontologie par le Conseil National de l'Ordre des Médecins sur la publicité et de trois avis qui s'y rapportent
In the issue of december 2002 of the bulletin of the National Council of Medicine are detailled some amendments about the chapter "PUB and publicity" of the Code of Ethics and two closely related notices. Another notice about neon signs take place in the bulletin of june 2003. Globally, the National Council does not authorize PUB but adopt a more moderate position about publicity in a series of particular situations. This article discuss the new situation and what it is necessary to think about.SCOPUS: re.jinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishe

Arteriovenous malformation associated with multiple aneurysms in the posterior fossa: A case report with a review of the literature
The association of two aneurysms on the distal posteroinferior cerebellar artery with an arteriovenous malformation fed by the same artery is reported. A one-stage operation was performed. The other cases in the literature are analyzed with particular regard to the origin of the subarachnoid hemorrhage and the location of the aneurysms.SCOPUS: re.jinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishe
Endocavitary electrocardiography in neurosurgery
Endocavitary electrocardiography was used during surgery on the posterior fossa and the cervical spine in semi sitting position as a check when placing a ventriculo atrial shunt while inserting an intracardiac catheter in hydrocephaly. The method was as follows: one of the metal electrodes usually employed in cardiology, was replaced by a water column by filling the catheter with a 20% saline solution. The catheter, which is inserted via a wide vein (e.g. the internal jugular vein) was pushed upwards cm by cm until in the superior vena cava and further mm by mm until in the right atrium. The patient was connected with the 4 electrodes of an electrocardioscope; subsequently, at the ECG recording, either the electrodes for the left arm, or the thoracic electrodes were connected with the metal extension piece of the syringe containing the 20% saline solution and attached to the endocavitary catheter. The morphological changes in the auriculogram, that could be followed on the electrocardioscope, allowed the determination of the exact localization of the catheter in the atrium at any moment during the moving of the catheter. Reading the auriculogram was simple, provided that some technical precautions were observed. The only obstacle in this method was formed by the patients having atrial fibrillation. The authors have abandoned the radiological control method in favour of the electrocardiographic control method, which, in their opinion, is the simplest, most correct and rapid method.SCOPUS: NotDefined.jinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishe
