AIM: Το highlight the major landmarks during Gradenigo’s career and outline his
contributions to Neurosciences.
MATERIAL-METHODS: Several resources have been reviewed (PubMed, university
yearbooks and internet sites). Moreover, several rare photographs along with many
nonEnglish more than a century old articles have been meticulously selected to enrich this
historical journey in time.
RESULTS: Giuseppe Gradenigo (1859-1926), a legendary figure of Otology, was born in
Venice, Italy. He soon became a pupil to Adam Politzer and Samuel Leopold Schenk in
Wien, demonstrating genuine interest in the embryology, morphology, physiopathology as
well as the clinical manifestations of ear diseases. It was after him that the well-known
syndrome consisting of diplopia and facial pain due to a middle ear infection was named.
However, Gradenigo was much more than a syndrome. Surprisingly, despite the fact that
he is considered a pioneer of the Italian Audiology of the late 19th and early 20th century,
little is written of his life and his notable achievements in the English literature.
CONCLUSION: Giuseppe Gradenigo made notable contributions to Audiology and
Neurosciences in general. Even though his name lives on nowadays only in the eponym
‘Gradenigo’s syndrome’ , his accomplishments are much wider and cast him among the
emblematic figures of science. His inherent tendency for discovering the underlying
mechanisms of diseases and his vision of guaranteeing quality of services, professional
proficiency, respect and dedication towards the patients is in fact what constitutes his true
legacy to the next generations.
