Octave CrouzonOctave Crouzon, full name Louis Edouard Octave Crouzon (1874-1938) was a French neurologist who was born in Paris. He received his doctorate from the University of Paris where he studied under famous physicians such as Paul Georges Dieulafoy (1839-1911), Joseph Babinski (1857-1932) and Pierre Marie (1853-1940). During his medical career he was associated with the Hôtel-Dieu de Paris and Salpêtrière Hospital. Additional recommended knowledgeCrouzon specialized in hereditary neurological diseases, especially spinocerebellar ataxia. He also did extensive work involving spinal disorders, as well as chronic rheumatic and arthritic disorders. Crouzon was the first to describe a condition he called "craniofacial dysostosis", which is a genetic branchial arch disorder that results in abnormal facial features. Today this condition is known as Crouzon's syndrome. For his entire career, Crouzon was interested in psychology, particularly in the work of Pierre Janet (1859-1947), whom Crouzon considered a major influence, and who is considered by many as the "founder of psychoanalysis".
