Eugène Apert

Eugène Charles Apert (27 July 1868 – 2 February 1940) was a French pediatrician born in Paris.

Pediatrician Jacques-Joseph Grancher (1843–1907) and surgeon Paul Georges Dieulafoy (1839–1911) were important influences on his career.

He was also a student of pediatrician Antoine Bernard-Jean Marfan (1858–1942) and collaborated with dermatologist François Henri Hallopeau (1842–1919).

In 1906 he published the case report "De l'acrocéphalosyndactylie" (Acrocephalosyndactyly),[1] documenting several individuals who had congenital malformations of the skull in conjunction with joined fingers.

Apert authored many works in pediatrics, including an influential manual on child rearing.
