Jacques Forestier (1890-1978) was a well-known rheumatologist and radiologist whose innovations have revolutionized spinal neurosurgery and rheumatology. He was well known as "Doctor Lipiodol" for his accidental discovery of spinal myelography, which he later extrapolated for use in many body cavities and their pathologies. He was the first to describe "senile ankylosing hyperostosis of the spine," which was later renamed "diffuse idiopathic skeletal hyperostosis." Furthermore, he is credited with the first use of gold salts as a disease-modifying therapy for rheumatoid arthritis. We have presented a historical vignette to chronicle the life of Jacques Forestier and his contributions to the field of spinal neurosurgery.
雅克·福雷斯特（Jacques Forestier）（1890-1978 年）是一位著名的风湿病学家和放射学家，他的创新彻底改变了脊柱神经外科和风湿病学。他因意外发现脊髓造影而被称为“利宝醇医生”，后来他将其推广应用于许多体腔及其病变。他首先描述了“老年强直性脊柱骨肥厚”，后来该疾病被重新命名为“弥漫性特发性骨肥厚症”。此外，他还率先使用金盐作为类风湿关节炎的疾病修饰疗法。我们呈现了一个历史小插曲，以记录雅克·福雷斯特的生平及其对脊柱神经外科领域的贡献。
