The renowned medieval Persian physician Rhazes was an early proponent of experimental medicine. Rhazes made fundamental and enduring contributions to medicine and to other scientific fields. He wrote over 200 scientific books, more than half of which concerned medicine. He was well versed in Persian, Greek, and Indian medical knowledge, and made numerous contributions to the medical field through his own observations and discoveries. He was also a pioneer in the field of neurosurgery and, as he was predominantly a pediatrician, he dealt with the subject of hydrocephalus. A large part of his medical tome, al-Hawi, deals with head-related disorders including the hydrocephalus. Although he did not introduce novel concepts of hydrocephalus and its management, by combining the different approaches of experienced scholars he endeavored to improve treatment and knowledge of this problematic disease.
著名的中世纪波斯医生拉齐斯是实验医学的早期支持者。拉齐斯对医学和其他科学领域做出了基础性和持久性的贡献。他撰写了200多部科学书籍，其中一半以上与医学有关。他精通波斯、希腊和印度的医学知识，并通过自己的观察和发现为医学领域做出了许多贡献。他还是神经外科领域的先驱，由于他主要是一名儿科医生，所以他研究了脑积水这一课题。他的医学巨著《医学集成》的很大一部分内容都涉及与头部相关的疾病，包括脑积水。虽然他没有提出脑积水及其治疗的新观念，但他通过整合经验丰富的学者的不同方法，努力改进对这种疑难疾病的治疗和认识。
