Resumen

Fritz Jacob Heinrich Lewy described the pathology of Paralysis agitans [Parkinson disease] and was the first to identify eosinophilic inclusion bodies in neurons of certain brain nuclei, later known as Lewy bodies, the pathological, signature of the Lewy body diseases. In 1912, he published his seminal study, followed soon after by an update paper, and 10 years later, in 1923, by his voluminous book, where he exhaustively described the subject. The publication. provided extensive information on the pathology of Paralysis agitans, and the entirely novel finding of eosinophilic, inclusion bodies, which would become widely recognized and debated in the future. His discovery was acknowledged, by important researchers who even named the structure after him. However, after his last publication on the issue,,inexplicably, he never mentioned his histopathological discovery again. Despite several hypotheses, the reasons that led,him to neglect (reject) the structure which he so preeminently described have remained elusive.

Objetivo

Recognize a researcher who found an association and gave a final diagnosis to Parkinson's, because although the disease was already known but it was called (trembling palsy).

Conceptos principales

He was the first to recognize Parkinson's disease and associate it with Lewy bodies.

He carried out a study where he revealed everything that Lewy bodies imply and how they are associated with Parkinson's.

Metodología

Mixed (Descriptive Study)

Instrumentos

Databases of people who were previously interested in investigating Lewy bodies and their relationship to Parkinson's.

Resultados

The investigation leads to the writing of two books in relation to the pathology of paralysis trembling, but the author did not talk about it again, although it was a great discovery for the investigation.

Conclusiones

Lewy described the pathology of Paralysis agitans, identifying a novel structure - eosinophilic inclusion bodies in neurons of some brain nuclei. After his 1912 seminal paper, and another that followed shortly after, he prepared and published, 10 years later, a massive book on the subject. After this, he never returned to the theme, nor mentioned his original finding. Despite several hypotheses, the reasons that led him to neglect (reject) the structure he so preeminently described, appear set to remain unsolved.
