Paul Oulmont, born April 21,1849 in Épinal, France, died November 3,1917 in Paris, was a French neurologist and a noted art collector.
Son of Charles Oulmont (1819-1875) and Mathilde Lehmann (1827-ca1875). Married in 1878 to Louise Julie Emerique. He bestowed an important collection of drawings to his native town of Épinal.[1] Oulmont received his medical degree in 1873 and was appointed Charcot's house officer in 1877. In 1878 he defended his thesis for agregation, on the subject of athetosis. Although athetosis was known as "Hammond's disease," after William Alexander Hamilton ( 1828-1900), Oulmont presented a much earlier description written in 1853 by his mentor, Charcot, who classified the disorder as a form of chorea.[2] Oulmont's name is associated with a number of disorders including diabetic neuropathy, Mercury toxicity in tics, and facial hemiplegia.[2]
A room at the Bichat Hospital was named in his honor in 1931.
