Sinus cavernosi, or the cavernous sinus, was coined by Jacques Bénigne Winslow in the 18th century. Among the neurosurgeons and the modern-day neuroanatomists, Winslow is mainly known for erroneously using the term cavernous sinus. As the anatomical understanding of the parasellar space advanced during the next 200 years, it was unclear as to why Winslow compared this space in the brain with that of a male reproductive organ (corpus cavernosum). Our primary objective was to study the historical treatise on anatomy written by Winslow in the 18th century and analyze his anatomical dissections and nomenclature for the parasellar compartment. In addition, his pertinent contributions to neuroscience are highlighted in this vignette.
海绵窦,或称为海绵窦,由雅克·本尼涅·温斯洛在 18 世纪创造。在神经外科医生和现代神经解剖学家中,温斯洛主要因错误地使用海绵窦这个术语而闻名。随着对鞍旁间隙的解剖学理解在接下来的 200 年中不断进步,人们不清楚为什么温斯洛将这个大脑中的空间与男性生殖器官(海绵体)进行比较。我们的主要目标是研究温斯洛在 18 世纪撰写的解剖学历史论文,并分析他对鞍旁间隙的解剖和命名。此外,本文还突出了他对神经科学的相关贡献。
