Abstract |
The mold of the human cerebral ventricles produced in 1918 by Walter E. Dandy had an experimental precedent, a wax cast of ox ventricles made four hundred years earlier (1508-9) by Leonardo da Vinci (1452–1519). This paper is an homage to the epitome of Renaissance and polymath Leonard da Vinci, as well as to Walter Edward Dandy (1886–1946) who developed the ventriculography (1918) and pneumoencephalography (1919) techniques. Pneumoencephalography was applied broadly up to the late 1970s, when it was replaced by less invasive and more accurate neuroimaging techniques.
