“…In 1895, John Corning, a New York physician specializing in diseases of the mind and nervous system, proposed that local anaesthesia of the spinal cord with cocaine may have therapeutic properties. 50 Corning injected cocaine 110 mg at the level of the T11/12 interspace in a man to treat habitual masturbation. Despite being accredited with the ®rst spinal anaesthetic, it is unlikely from his description and the dose of cocaine that his needle entered the subarachnoid space.…”

“…Para Cole 61 , Corning fue el primero en publicar y Lund agrega que hizo la conclusión correcta de que el método podía ser usado como anestesia quirúrgica 62 . Para otros, sin embargo 63,64,65,66 , el mérito es de Bier porque describió la técnica adecuadamente, con un raciocinio anatómico y fisiológico impecable, experimentó en sí mismo, publicó prontamente y siguió perfeccionando la técnica. Como contrapartida, Corning desarrolló un raciocinio anatómico y fisiológico equivocado y muy probablemente la anestesia que consiguió en su paciente no fue raquídea, sino que muy probablemente una peridural, aseveración basada en la dosis de cocaína usada, que de haber sido inyectada en el espacio subaracnoideo podría haber sido fatal para el paciente, y por la secuencia temporal del establecimiento de la anestesia.…”
