Romberg’S Sign
View through CrossRef
Abstract
One might assume that neurology started as an independent specialty when a chair was founded for Jean-Martin Charcot in 1882. Some 40 years earlier, Moritz Heinrich Romberg (1795-1873) formulated the first blueprint of systematic neurology by publishing a two-volume neurological reference book.1 He formulated the eponymous test in the second edition of that book. Moritz Romberg was born in Meiningen (Thiiringen) on 11 November 1795. After his father’s death he moved to Berlin with his mother. He went to high school and subsequently studied medicine. He graduated in 1817 with a thesis on congenital rickets, providing a classical description of achondroplasia.4 He decided to devote his further studies to nervous diseases.
