Julius Arnold

Julius Arnold (19 August 1835 – 3 February 1915) was a German pathologist born in Zurich.

He studied medicine at the Universities of Heidelberg, Prague, Vienna and Berlin, where he was a student of Rudolf Virchow (1821–1902).

Following his retirement he was succeeded as director of the Institute of Pathology by his former student Professor Paul Ernst.

[1] With Austrian pathologist, Hans Chiari, his name is lent to a condition known as Arnold–Chiari malformation, a disorder that takes place when the cerebellar tonsils and the medulla oblongata protrude through the foramen magnum into the spinal canal, without displacing the lower brain stem.

[1] He published his account of the disorder in an 1894 paper titled "Myelocyste, Transposition von Gewebskeimen und Sympodie".
