RESUMO
Otto Ludwig Binswanger (1852-1929) foi um médico suíço, psiquiatra e neurologista, oriundo de uma linhagem de psiquiatras. Além de ser talentoso, recebeu educação privilegiada de mestres excepcionais, lembrados até hoje. Como psiquiatra, foi muito dinâmico e inovador na reorganização e modernização da Clínica Psiquiátrica e Neurológica que dirigiu, em Jena, durante 37 anos. Escreveu livros importantes e numerosos artigos científicos, entre os quais A delimitação da paralisia geral progressiva, no qual descreveu a "Encefalite subcortical progressiva crônica". Alzheimer denominou a condição, em 1902, de "Encefalite subcortical progressiva crônica de Binswanger", mais tarde conhecida por "doença de Binswanger". Apesar de críticas, chegando mesmo a se argumentar que o epônimo poderia ser impróprio, concluiu-se por sua manutenção, conservada até os dias de hoje.
