Paul Oulmont
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 Jean-Martin 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.
