Personal life

Dorello was born in 1872 in Narni, Umbria.[1] Outside of anatomy, he had an interest in photography, particularly of Italian architecture.[1][2] He died in 1963.[2][3]

Career

Dorello completed studies in medicine at the University of Rome in 1897.[1][2] He later became an assistant professor there until 1922.[2] He later went on to become the chair of human anatomy at the University of Perugia, a position he held for 20 years between 1926 and 1946.[1] He remained an emeritus professor during retirement.[2]

Dorello performed dissections of the previously-discovered Gruber ligament.[1][4] These began in 1905.[2][4] Beneath the Gruber ligament, he identified Dorello's canal.[1][5] This contains the abducens nerve (CN VI) and the inferior petrosal sinus.[1] His identification was confirmed years layer.[2] He theorised possible diseases associated with Dorello's canal, including entrapment of the abducens nerve due to inflammation.[6]

Dorello worked on anatomy topics in the Treccani Encyclopaedia.[2] In 1939, he was nominated for the Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine.[1][3] He also nominated 4 scientists for the prize.[7]
