Samuel Wulfowicz Goldflam (15 February 1852 – 26 August 1932) was a Polish-Jewish[1] neurologist best known for his brilliant 1893 analysis of myasthenia gravis (Erb-Goldflam syndrome).

He qualified as a physician in 1875, then worked in internal medicine at Holy Ghost Hospital under Professor Wilhelm Dusan Lambl (1824-95), known for the giardia parasite, Lamblia intestinalis.

In 1882 Goldflam studied with the famous neurologists Karl Friedrich Otto Westphal (1833-90) and Jean-Martin Charcot (1825-93), then returned to Warsaw to teach neurology in the manner of the great masters.

During World War I, Goldflam worked as a volunteer in the Jewish Hospital with his great friend, the neurologist, Edward Flatau (1869-1932).

Goldflam was a sharp clinician with the ability to recognize small clues of illness which often escaped the attention of his colleagues.
