Emil Redlich

Emil Redlich (18 January 1866 – 9 June 1930) was an Austrian-Jewish[1] neurologist born in Brünn.

In 1889 he received his doctorate from the University of Vienna, and later performed anatomical research of the brain at Heinrich Obersteiner’s institute.

He also described a type of abortive disseminated encephalomyelitis with lesions scattered throughout the spinal cord and brain.

This disorder was to become known as "Redlich–Flatau syndrome", named along with Edward Flatau (1868–1932), who stated that a virus could be the cause of the disease.
