Neurological surgery was defined as a separate surgical specialty by Harvey Cushing and a few other surgeons, most of whom were trained and influenced by Cushing. One of these, Raphael Eustace Semmes, became the first neurosurgeon in Memphis, Tennessee, in 1912. After World War II, Semmes and his first associate, Francis Murphey, incorporated the Semmes-Murphey Clinic, which has been primarily responsible for the growth of the Department of Neurosurgery at the University of Tennessee Health Science Center in Memphis, as well as the development of select neurosurgical subspecialties in Memphis area hospitals.

THE SYMPTOM of headache constitutes one of the most perplexing diagnostic and therapeutic problems with which the physician is confronted.1 It is also one of the most frequent complaints, accounting in one series, for example, for 24 per cent of more than 15,000 absences among factory employees.1Several factors contribute to the frequency of the complaint, even when the condition responsible for the headache is not in the head.The head is logically a region where functional complaints are centered. However, Friedman and others2 wisely warned against diagnosing a headache as psychogenic purely on the patient's description of the pain, and they pointed out that emotional stress and inner conflicts readily exacerbate or precipitate not only psychogenic but migrainous and post \ x=req-\ traumatic headaches as well.Many anatomically uninformed persons consider the neck, except anteriorly, an imaginary plane separating the shoulders from the head. Therefore, if the ache or discomfort is above the shoulders, it is a "headache." Often patients complain of headache, and when asked to indicate Read at a meeting

in den !etzten Jahren hat das Problem der eerviealen Spondylose und der eervicalen Diseushernien im neurologisehen, neuroehirurgisehen und r6ntgenologisehen Sehrifttum einen breiten tlaum eingenommen. Sehmerzen im Sehulter-Armbereich fiihrte man auf eine Wurzelkompression in den Foramina intervertebralia der Halswirbelsgule zuriiek. Mit einer Reizung des sympathisehen Nervengeflechtes, das die A. vertebralis begleitet, ~arden vegetative Erseheinungen im oberen K6rperviertel erkliirt. SehlieBlieh zeigte es sich, dab im' Bereiche der Halswirbelsgule eine Kompression des Biiekenmarkes dnreh eine Bandseheibe oder dm'eh eine spondylotisehe Knoehenleiste stattfinden kormte.Diese versehiedenen Manifestationsformen, die ihre gemeinsame Ursache in VerSnderungen der Hatswirbelsiiule haben, k6nnen sieh ganz versehiedenartig kombinieren. Je naeh dem Oberwiegen vegetativer, radieul~irer oder medulliirer Erseheinungen wird der Patient den Internisten, den Otologen, den Neurologen oder den Neuroehirurgen aufsuehen. Jeder Spezialist wird also eine bestinunte Selektion von Patienten sehen und behandeln. Zwar f/ihren sie alle die Symptome iitiologiseh auf Ver~inderungen der Halswirbels~iule zuriiek, aber sehon hier zeigen sieh Untersehiede in der Benennung, indem der Neuroehirurg die Diagnose einer eerviealen Diseushernie h~iufiger stellt als die einer Spondylose, wiihrend z.B. der l~heumatologe eher von einer Spondylose oder Osteoehondrose spreehen wird. Neben der Selektion des Materials, die aus der Spezialit~it des Untersuehers sieh ergibt, spielt bei der Beurteilung aueh die faehteehniseh begrfindete und individuell gefiirbte Einstellung des Einzelnen eine Rolle. Dadureh kommt es in der Darstetlung dieses Problems in der Literatur zu Die vorliegende Arbeit ist 1955 abgesehlossen worden. Sp~iter erschienene Literatur tiber das Tbema wurde nieht mehr bertieksiehtigt.
