Ayub Khan Ommaya (1930-2008) was a pioneering neurosurgeon of Pakistani origin who is widely known for inventing the Ommaya reservoir, a ventricular catheter with a mushroom-shaped dome for administration of intraventricular therapies. As a Rhodes Scholar at Oxford, Ommaya developed an early interest in studying traumatic brain injury. Over the course of his career, Ommaya employed subhuman primate models to better understand mechanisms underlying human cerebral concussion. His work on traumatic brain injury led to the creation of the National Center for Injury Prevention and Control, a center for injury prevention research at the Center for Disease Control. This historical paper visits Ommaya's life story and recounts his key contributions to neurosurgery.
阿尤布·汗·奥马亚（1930 - 2008）是一位具有巴基斯坦血统的开创性神经外科医生，他因发明奥马亚贮液器而广为人知，这是一种带有蘑菇形圆顶的脑室导管，用于进行脑室内治疗。作为牛津大学的罗德学者，奥马亚早年就对研究创伤性脑损伤产生了兴趣。在其职业生涯中，奥马亚采用非人灵长类动物模型来更好地理解人类脑震荡的潜在机制。他在创伤性脑损伤方面的工作促成了国家伤害预防与控制中心的创建，这是疾病控制中心的一个伤害预防研究中心。这篇历史论文讲述了奥马亚的生平故事，并叙述了他对神经外科的关键贡献。
