"Since Cruveilhier's description of an intracranial "tumeur d'apparence perlée" (1829), dermoid cysts have been encountered frequently in the brain. A spinal dermoid, however, is still a rare operative or autopsy finding. Since 1875, the presence of dermoid or epidermoid cysts in the vertebral canal has been reported in 40 instances, the present contribution of three such cases being included. This paper presents a summary of the records and a brief consideration of the anatomical and clinical aspects of these tumors. Bostroem's term "dermoid" and "epidermoid" (1897), currently more acceptable than Müller's "cholesteatome" (1838), denotes a group of congenital growths which "commonly originate by the inclusion of a portion of ectoderm during closure of embryonal fissures, or at the point of union of ectoderm with other structures along the course of ectodermic invagination or from persistent embryonal ectodermal structures" or from trauma or teratomatous remnants (Ewing, 1931). The type and location of the cyst appear related to the age of the fetus at the time of the inclusion error. They may be single or multiple ; they may contain any or all of the products of the skin and its glands, though epidermoids do not as a rule contain hair. In this presentation we have not differentiated between dermoid and epidermoid. We have assumed the accuracy of the pathological diagnosis in all instances. The following cases have been previously reported." Boldrey & Elvidge Edwin B. Boldrey was a professor of neurosurgery at the University of California-San Francisco and a 1932 graduate from Indiana University School of Medicine. After obtaining his M.D., he began his postgraduate training at the Montreal General Hospital, and later went to the Montreal Neurological Institute at McGill University. At the institute, Boldery worked with Dr. Wilder Penfield on cortical localization. With Penfield, he studied and published original contributions that provided the fundamental anatomical correlates of much of the clinical physiology of motor and sensory cortical mechanisms in humans. He completed his residency in 1939. Boldery also received an M.Sc. degree in neurology and neurosurgery in 1936. In 1940, Dr. Boldery joined the Department of Neurological Surgery at University of California - San Francisco, where he served on the faculty for 48 years and as Chairman from 1951 to 1956. Dr. Boldrey has made many important contributions to his specialty, including the development of new concepts of cortical physiology.

"This series of tumors is analyzed according to the general outline accepted by Bailey and Cushing (1926). It is published now with a view to testing the value of the subdivisions treated by these authors and their predecessors. The allotment of space conforms to our own interests rather than to the demands of complete presentation. After working with this classification for eleven years it has become apparent that the character of certain subgroups is different from what was anticipated; other subdivisions seem to be unnecessary, while the astrocytomas divide themselves into three well defined groups This further division of the astrocytomas results in clarification without loading the literature of the subject with an unnecessary burden of terminology." "The contributions of Arthur Elvidge (1899-1985), Wilder Penfield's first neurosurgical recruit, to the development of neurosurgery have been relatively neglected, although his work in brain tumors extended the previous work of Percival Bailey and Harvey Cushing. He published rigorous correlations of clinical and histological information and formulated a revised, modern nosology for neuroepithelial tumors, including a modern histological definition of glioblastoma multiforme. Well ahead of his time, he believed that glioblastoma was not strictly localized and was the first to comment that the tumor frequently showed "satellitosis." He was the first neurosurgeon in North America to use angiography as a radiographic aid in the diagnosis of cerebrovascular disease. Having studied with Egas Moniz, he was the first to detail the use of angiographic examinations specifically for demonstrating cerebrovascular disorders, believing that it would make possible routine surgery of the intracranial blood vessels. Seeking to visualize all phases of angiography, he was the impetus behind the design of one of the first semi-automatic film changers. Elvidge and Egas Moniz made the first observations on thrombosis of the carotid vessels independently of each other. Elvidge elucidated the significance of embolic stroke and commented on the ischemic sequelae of subarachnoid hemorrhage. Besides his contributions to neurosurgery, he codiscovered the mode of transmission of poliomyelitis. Elvidge's soft-spoken manner, his dry wit and candor, mastery of the understatement, love of exotic travel, and consummate dedication to neurosurgery made him a favorite of patients, neurosurgery residents, nurses, and other hospital staff. His accomplishments and example as teacher and physician have become part of neurosurgery's growing legacy."
