Charles Foix (1 February 1882 - 22 March 1927) was a French internist and neurologist. Charles Foix was born in Salies-de-Béarn, Pyrénées-Atlantiques. He studied medicine at the University of Paris and was a pupil of Pierre Marie at the Salpêtrière Hospital (Paris). He was an intern in 1906, ''Médecin des hôpitaux'' in 1919 and became ''agrégé'' in 1923. Foix taught at Georges Guillain's clinic at the Salpêtrière and at Emile Charles Achard's at the Hospital Beaujon, always distinguishing himself by his wide knowledge and rational approach. Foix' main contributions to the neurology was to relate thrombosis of specific arteries at autopsies with symptoms and signs that he had established in his patients and he wrote a book on the blood supply and anatomy of the brain. With Ion Niculescu he published an imposing treatise on the anatomy and blood supply of the midbrain and interbrain. A most impressive teacher and clinician, Foix was almost as much at home with general medicine as he was with neurology. He was an accomplished poet, but even a better lyricist. ==Associated eponyms== * ''Foix's syndrome I'', Red nucleus (anterior portion) syndrome. * ''Foix's syndrome II'', Ophtalmoplegic disease secondary to intracranial aneurysmas or thrombosis of the cavernous sinus. * ''Foix-Alajouanine disease'', Softening of the grey matter of the spinal cord with obliterative sclerosis of the small vessels. * ''Marie-Foix-Alajouanine syndrome'', Ataxia of the cerebellum in advanced age, frequently due to abuse of alcohol. * ''Schilder-Foix disease'', Nonprogressive sclerotic lesions of the white matter of the cerebral hemisphere. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Charles Foix」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
