"From the Department of Neurology and Neurosurgery, the McGill University Faculty of Medicine , and the Montreal Neurological Institute. Read at the Sixty-First Annual Meeting of the American Neurological Association, Montral Canada, June 4, 1936." One of the most frequent sequelae to injury of the head is posttraumatic headache. Sufferers from this complaint all too often wander from doctor to doctor, from clinic to clinic and, alas! from lawyer to lawyer under the unjust suspicion of being neurotic or malingering. Posttraumatic headache associated with dizziness forms a clinical entity which is described by these patients in altogether typical fashion. The patient's description of his symptoms makes the diagnosis certain and allows the understanding physician to recognize the true sufferer and to distinguish him from the neurotic patient and the malingerer. In 1927 this condition was described as a disease entity by one of us (W. P.).1 The fact that the procedure of treatment resulted in relief of symptoms in each of the reported cases was the final proof that the syndrome was a true one and that the underlying pathologic change, whatever it might be, was common to each member of the group." Penfield & Nathan C. Narcross "Wilder Graves Penfield (1891-1976) is well known as the founder of the Montreal Neurological Institute (MNI), the site of his most important contributions to the investigation and treatment of epilepsy and to our understanding of the structure-function relationship of the brain. The seeds of the MNI were sown 6 years before its opening in 1934, when Penfield accepted the position of head of the Subdepartment of Neurosurgery at McGill University's Royal Victoria Hospital (RVH). Penfield took this position because of the facilities made available to him to pursue the neuropathological research that he had undertaken with Pío del Río Hortega in Madrid, and to continue his investigation into the nature and treatment of posttraumatic epilepsy that he began with Otfrid Foerster in Breslau. Penfield and his first neurosurgical research fellows Joseph Evans, Jerzy Choróbski, Nathan (Grosby) Norcross (1906-1981), Theodore Erickson, Isadore Tarlov, and Arne Torkildsen studied the substrate of focal epilepsy, the innervation of cortical arteries, the function of the diencephalon, the microscopic structure of spinal nerve roots, and the ventricular system in health and disease. In his 6 years at the RVH, Penfield and his fellows effected a paradigm shift that saw neurosurgery pass from empirical practice to scientific discipline."
