ABSTRACT
ABSTRACT Fritz Heinrich Jakob Lewy described, for the first time, in 1912, novel peculiar inclusions in neurons of certain brain nuclei in patients with Paralysis agitans, and compared his finding to the amyloid bodies described by Lafora one year before. Gonzalo Rodriguez Lafora studied one patient with Paralysis agitans, in 1913, and recognized, described, and depicted structures identical to those previously reported by Lewy. He was the first to acknowledge Lewy's finding, and also the first to name such inclusions after the discoverer - cuerpos intracelulares de Lewy (Lewy bodies). Konstantin Nikolaevich Trétiakoff named the inclusions he found in neurons of the substantia nigra of patients with Parkinson's disease as corps de Lewy (Lewy bodies), in 1919. Trétiakoff has unanimously received the credit for the eponym. However, Lafora's earlier description should make him deserving of the authorship of the eponym.
RESUMO
RESUMO Fritz Heinrich Jakob Lewy descreveu pela primeira vez, em 1912, inclusões singulares inéditas em neurônios de certos núcleos do cérebro em casos de Paralysis agitans e comparou seu achado aos corpos amilóides, como descrito por Lafora um ano antes. Gonzalo Rodriguez Lafora estudou um caso de Paralysis agitans, em 1913,e reconheceu, descreveu e representou estruturas idênticas às recentemente relatadas por Lewy. Foi o primeiro a reconhecer o achado de Lewy e também o primeiro a denominar tais inclusões segundo seu descobridor - cuerpos intracelulares de Lewy (corpos de Lewy). Konstantin Nikolaevich Tretiakoff designou as inclusões que encontrou em neurônios da substantia nigra em casos de doença de Parkinson de corps de Lewy (corpos de Lewy), em 1919. Ele recebeu o crédito pelo epônimo de modo unânime. Entretanto, a descrição anterior de Lafora deveria fazê-lo merecedor da autoria do epônimo.
