“…Dechef says that the initial discovery of the cerebrospinal fluid did not draw a lot of attention of researchers at that time, because it was described in the book about sciatica and not about cerebrospinal fluid itself [56]. Böni and associates consider Cotugno the first one to describe cerebrospinal fluid and its circulation [57]. At the same time they claim that 70 years before Cotugno, it might have been Valsava who mentioned the presence of cerebrospinal fluid location and circulation but they are unable to provide the source of this information [57].…”

The author analyzes a historical, long, and tortuous way to discover the cerebrospinal fluid. At least 35 physicians and anatomists described in the text have laid the fundamentals of recognition of this biological fluid's presence. On the basis of crucial anatomical, experimental, and clinical works there are four greatest physicians who should be considered as equal cerebrospinal fluid's discoverers: Egyptian Imhotep, Venetian Nicolo Massa, Italian Domenico Felice Cotugno, and French François Magendie.

“…Domenico Cotugno (1736 - 1822), an Italian physician, associated the pain of sciatic syndrome with the irritation of the nerve by "acrid humors" derived from the blood ( 7 ), which was a repeat of the old traditional idea, after about 1000 years and confirms the dominancy of this idea till 19th century AD, in the West and not only in Iran and East.…”

Even if the modern history of spine surgery can actually be dated back to the invention of radiology by Conrad R@entgen (1895) and the work by Semmelweis (1847) and Lister with the use of antiseptics (1867), in the centuries prior to the 20th, a series of relevant observations had been proposed on the pathology of the spine. The first reference to a cervical spine fracture with associated neurological disorders can be found in the Smith papyrus.
