De-eponymising anatomical terminology

In response to a recent Twitter debate we set out to evaluate the hypothesis that ‘There is ALWAYS an alternative to the dead man’s name for body parts‘ and create an online searchable database to facilitate the de-eponymification of anatomic terminology.

TA 2020 review Twitter 2

We reviewed 700 normal (non-pathological) anatomical and histological eponyms and developed a searchable database modelled on the 2019 edition of Terminologia Anatomica (TA2) published by the Federative International Programme for Anatomical Terminology (FIPAT).

We highlight a handful of the myriad inconsistencies, confusion, misogyny, inaccuracy and issues pertaining to the use of anatomical eponyms in modern medical parlance.

In the vast majority of cases an internationally recognised, non-person orientated, officially sanctioned term could be used to replace an eponym without detriment to context or education.

Introduction

The use of eponyms in the field of medicine has been commonplace for centuries. There is ongoing debate regarding the accuracy, effectiveness and more recently, the cultural appropriateness of the use of eponyms in anatomical terminology. 

The majority of these eponyms have an approved and accepted modern terminology, however many clinicians continue to utilize and teach eponymous terms in their daily practice. 

For the purposes of this review we used the following definitions.

  • Eponym: person after whom the anatomical entity is named e.g. Colles
  • Eponymous term: the anatomical entity which is named e.g. Colles fascia
  • Synonymy: multiple alternate names for a single entity
  • Polysemy: multiple alternate meanings for a single term

History of anatomical terminology

In 1887 the German language anatomical society (Anatomische Gesellschaft) attempted to address the problem of multiple names per anatomical structure. Wilhelm His et al defined the first rule of Anatomy Club, that each anatomical structure should only have one name. The first edition of Nomina anatomica (1895) managed to break this rule over 200 times and consolidated the use of 165 eponymous terms. In subsequent editions of Nomina Anatomica the number of eponymous terms and breaches of the one-name rule increased in frequency. 

Jeder zu benennende Theil soll nur einen Namen haben. Die Namen müssen lateinisch und sprachlich correct gebildet sein. Ferner wird von von ihnen verlangt, dass sie möglichst kurz und einfach seien. Die Namen sollen blosse Erinnerungszeichen sein, und nicht den Anspruch auf Beschreibungen oder auf speculative Interpretationen erheben. Zusammengehörige Namen sollen möglichst gleichartig zusammengesetzt sein (z. B. Femur, A. femoralis, V. femoralis, N. femoralis).

His W. Nomina anatomica. 1895: 16

Each part to be named should only have one name. The names must be correct in Latin and linguistically. They are also required to be as short and simple as possible. The names are intended to be mere reminders and not to claim descriptions or speculative interpretations. Names that belong together should be composed as similarly as possible (e.g. femur, femoral artery, femoral vein, femoral nerve).

His W. Nomina anatomica. 1895: 16

Over the last century the use of personal names in anatomical terms has been a contentious point of debate and delicate accommodation. Eponyms have generally been ‘prohibited’, but deemed ‘tolerable when necessary’. A common compromise was to append personal names to the official Latin term e.g. Calot’s triangle as Trigonum cystohepaticum [Caloti]

In 2015, FIPAT determined that the Latin term (official term) may have associated synonyms, or related terms; and that terms in other languages be classified as equivalent terms, synonyms, or related terms. In the 2019 edition of Terminologica Anatomica (TA2); Terminologica Neuroanatomica (TNA); and Terminologica Emryologica (TE2) eponyms are listed as ‘related terms’. This moves the International Federation of Associations of Anatomists (IFAA) one step closer to global consensus and de-eponymification

Method

Eponymous anatomical, histological and embryological terms; their author and anatomical descriptor were reviewed from textbook and online sources (see references for full list).

Only non-pathological anatomic and histologic terms with a related eponym and documented in either Nomina Anatomica, TA2, TNA, or TE2 were highlighted for review. Eponymous terms relating to signs, syndromes, topographical landmarks and clinical anatomical areas were excluded from further evaluation.

Results were compiled in an online database allowing review of the eponymous term; the official Latin term; synonyms; English term; and related terms. The original publication (bibliographic source) as well as the country, occupation and date of birth/death of the author (biographic source) were recorded.

Results

We identified 700 non-pathological anatomical eponymous terms attributed to 432 different eponyms.  

  • 424 of the eponyms were male physicians.
  • The 8 non-male physician eponyms included 5 gods; a king; a hero…and a woman.
  • 30 nationalities were represented. However, 57% of eponyms originated from just three countries: Germany (194 eponymous terms, 114 eponyms); France (105/67); and Italy (104/41)
  • The average date of eponymous term attribution was 1847 with 51% of eponymous physicians being born between 1800 and 1875
  • 117 authors were associated with more than one eponymous term. The most attributed authors accounted for 7% of eponymous terms: Morgagni (15), Santori (10), Haller (9), Golgi (8), and Jacobson (8)

Discussion

Eponyms are dead; long live the eponym

First lets take a look at a few of the reasons we are probably unable to say that there is ALWAYS an alternative to the dead man’s name for body parts…

Eponymic misogyny

Eponyms often reflect the gender and cultural biases of an earlier age.

One woman did make the list. The only human female eponymously affiliated with a macroscopic anatomical structure was Raissa Nitabuch (Nitabuch fibrinoid or Stria fibrinoidea interna, the internal fibrinoid layer of the maturing placenta)

*The first woman to graduate medicine was Elizabeth Blackwell (1821-1910) in 1849. Given that the lead time to eponymic attribution was 28.5 years, and that the average date of attribution was 1847, it is not unsurprising that by the time women graduates were ‘eligible’ for attribution that over 90% of the anatomical eponyms had already been designated.

**Two other women are associated with archaic eponymous terms; and one with a pathological eponymous term

Mythonyms

A number of anatomical terms relate to historical and mythical figures. Some have entered the vernacular more as metaphors and mythonyms rather than true anatomical eponyms. Examples include:

  • Ancient Greece: Iris, Hymenios (hymen), Atlas, Achilles
  • Ancient Egypt: Amun (Ammon’s horn)
  • Ancient Rome: Venus (mons veneris)
  • Biblical: King David (David’s lyre), Adam (Adam’s apple)

At the risk of causing more controversy…the mythological (well, now anatomically and histologically defined) Gräfenberg spot has been included in the database in it’s shortened colloquial version, the G-spot. The eponym is there, you just can’t see it any more…

When is an eponym not an eponym? When it is written in Latin, of course

Where a suitable structural term is not available, an adjectival eponym may be used if a personal name has been internationally accepted, despite the desirability of avoiding eponyms – Nomina Histologica 1977

Golgi (golgiensis), Paneth (panethensis), and Purkinje (purkinjense) are included in Terminologia Histologica (TH) as adjectives. Examples include: 

In 2008 Schwannocytus was added as a compound word. The term Schwann cell is now almost universally ascribed to the PNS ensheathing cell. Terms including the stem neurolemm- are now rarely used.

Eponyms are dead

However, despite the minor semantic diversion above, it is the authors belief that eponyms relating to anatomical nomenclature should be phased out. We highlight a handful of the myriad inconsistencies, confusion, misogyny, inaccuracy and issues pertaining to the use of anatomical eponyms in modern medical parlance.

Eponymic polysemy

Eponyms often enter the medical vocabulary in a haphazard and chaotic manner. It is not uncommon for them to break Neuman’s 8th rule of anatomical nomenclature ‘that each name must be unique’. Thus multiple different anatomical terms may be referred to by a single eponym (polysemy). For example:

  • Müller’s muscle. Related terms in TA2 include the Fibrae circulares (ciliary circular fibres); the Musculus orbitalis (orbitalis muscle); and the Musculus tarsalis superior (superior tarsal muscle)

Eponyms as synonyms

The medical literature is filled with a dissonant array of eponyms, scattered throughout the timeline of descriptive terminology. Not unsurprisingly this has resulted in multiple separate eponyms being promoted to describe the same anatomical structure. For example

  • The ileal orifice (ileocecal valve) is most commonly termed Bauhin’s valve, but also the valve of Tulp, Macalister, Falloppio, Morgagni, or Variolo
  • Nodules of semilunar leaflets of aortic valve have the eponymic synonyms of the bodies of Arantius, nodules of Morgagni, and the nodules of Valsalva

Vernacular duality

Eponyms can differ from country to country.

  • The ligamentum iliofemorale (iliofemoral ligament) is known as Bertin’s ligament in French and Bigelow’s ligament in English.
  • Similarly the nodus inguinalis profundus proximalis (proximal deep inguinal lymph node) is referred to as Cloquet’s ganglion/node in French and English and the Rosenmüller-Lymphknoten in German

Vernacular homophones

In particular Langerhans and Langhans: 2 eponyms which have similar spelling; sound similar when spoken aloud; and were both published in the same journal in the same year – Virchow’s Archive (1868).

  • Theodor Langhans (1839–1915) described multinucleate cells characteristic of the systemic granulomatous disorders such as tuberculosis and sarcoidosis (Langhans cell or Langhans giant cell)
  • Paul Langerhans (1847-1888) identified the antigen-presenting dendritic cells of the skin (Langerhans cells). These cells may also be found in other tissues, such as lymph nodes, in association with Langerhans cell histiocytosis

The terms are not infrequently mixed up in journal articles, textbooks, and histology reports. Worthy of note here as the eponymous resemblance between the names has led to instances of misdiagnosis and inappropriate treatment with serious clinical consequences [e.g. Pritchard et al 2003]

Éponymes confusionnants

In 1990 Mireille Cavalerie introduced this term relating to eponymic confusion relating to symmetrical organs sharing a common function. For example, Stensen’s and Wharton’s ducts are both devoid of clues to indicate which of them belongs to the parotid gland and which to the submandibular gland.

Tainted eponyms

Concerns have been raised regarding the use of eponyms following the Second World War, when it was revealed that some anatomical eponyms, and their discovery, were directly connected with active members of the Nazi party.

  • The Bronchiolar exocrine cell (Exocrinocytus bronchiolaris or ‘club cell’) was originally eponymously named the ‘Clara cell’ after Max Clara (1899-1965), an active supporter of Hitler’s party. In his 1937 paper, Clara acknowledges that the sample he based his work on ‘was obtained from a prisoner executed by the Nazi justice system’.
  • In 1964 Eduard Pernkopf (1888-1955) published his amazingly detailed, and ‘beautifully’ illustrated Pernkopf Atlas of Human Anatomy, which possibly included research and prosections conducted on executed civilians. After Hitler invaded Austria in 1938 Pernkopf was appointed dean of the medical school at the University of Vienna and was a major instigator in purging of Jewish staff from the medical school (153 of its 197 faculty members). In several of his public speeches he voiced support for both euthanasia and the Holocaust that was yet to come. The illustrators of the atlas were active Nazi party members who incorporated small swastikas and SS insignia into their signatures (air-brushed out in later editions).

Namesakes and dynasties

Eponymous terms usually relate to the surname of the attributed physician. Confusion arises when two eponyms have the same surname; more still when the namesakes are related and share the same given names.

  • HIS. Wilhelm His Senior (1831 – 1904) described the angle of His (cardiac notch) in 1868 whilst his son Wilhelm His Junior (1863 – 1934) described the Bundle of His (atrioventricular bundle) in 1893.
  • MECKEL. Johann Friedrich Meckel (1724– 1774) described Meckel’s ganglion (Ganglion pterygopalatinum) in 1749, and his grandson Johann Friedrich Meckel (the younger) (1781–1833) described the Meckel diverticulum (Diverticulum ilei) in 1809.

Ghost eponyms

Orly (2014) coined the term bibliographical ghosts in reference to eponymous publications which, though mentioned by historians, appear to have never existed. 

Some eponymous terms refer to prominent physicians with no recorded evidence of description or discovery. For example the dorsal tubercle of radius, is eponymously remembered as Lister’s tubercle after British surgeon Sir Joseph Lister (1827–1912), though no evidence exists that he ever described it.

Through this review we have highlighted another issue, the biographical ghost. Descriptions of eponymous terms cite real publications, however there is little or no biographical information about the author. For example:

  • EHRENRITTER, Johann ( – | – ); Ganglion of Ehrenritter (1790)
  • GANTZER, Karl Friedrich Ludwig  ( – | – ); Gantzer’s muscle (1813)
  • LECOMTE, Onésime ( – | – ); Lecomte’s pronator of ulna (1863)
  • NITABUCH, Raissa ( 1854 | – ); Nitabuch membrane (1877)
  • ROLLER, Christian Friedrich Wilhelm (1802–1878 or 1844-1884); Roller’s nucleus (1881)
  • SCHÜTZ, Hugo ( – | – ); Fasciculus of Schütz (1891)
  • BERNASCONI, V ( – | – ); artery of Bernasconi and Cassinari (1957)

    • Thank you Mark, we appreciate your contribution.
      A balanced review of the issues surrounding the gradual reduction in the use of eponyms in anatomical terms, as we trend towards global consensus, requires much thought and deliberation.
      Your erudite contribution is greatly valued.

  2. Nope. I don’t support the idea of “de-eponymising” anatomical parts.
    Why can’t medical/anatomy students learn both the eponymous and English names, as they have done for Centuries? Eponyms teach a bit of history, and even make the subject of anatomy more interesting. Who can forget the “critical Artery of Adamkiewicz”? Or “the accessory duct of Santorini”? Even after leaving medical school for almost three decades, I still remember those names with fond memories of those struggling days.

    These early anatomists earned the honor; we should not deny them. I bet if they were Americans, we are less likely to call for “de-eponymisation”. We still use “Watson and Crick” to describe the DNA structure, and we love it.

    And, no, using eponymous names does not perpetuate colonization. We were never colonized by Germany, France or Italy.

    And, please let’s not even mention misogyny. Some of the greatest scientists of all time were women. The list is too long to include, but here is a link to a few:
    https://www.globalcitizen.org/en/content/17-top-female-scientists-who-have-changed-the-worl/

    America is full of eponyms. Many federal buildings in America are named after someone. Many airports, and even many laws (e.g. Lilly Ledbetter law, etc) are named after people, and we like it that way.

    It is a mistake to rob medical students a sense of history because of political correctness.

  3. You mean the Watson and Crick whose DNA work was largely based of that of Rosalind Franklin who didn’t receive the Nobel prize with them (or it seems the recognition) only because she died of ovarian cancer 4 years prior? You claim to enjoy the history but don’t even know it properly.

    And I wouldn’t be holding up America as the gold standard here. Eponymous names can be problematic at best of times.

  4. Great work folks. Very interesting to learn about the history of surgery, anatomy, medicine etc. but eponyms just cause confusion, not to mention issues around structural racism, misogyny, colonialism…

  5. De-eponymisation of anatomical terminology will just be the first step in de-eponymisation of medicine in its entirety. One of the editors of the “Textbook of Adult Emergency Medicine” (my boss at the time) once told me that they opposed medical eponyms and wanted to phase them out. I then prepared an “A to Z of Orthopaedic Eponyms” PowerPoint for the trainees (from Achilles to Zimmer) as a way of thumbing my nose at this preposterous suggestion. It was well received by the Registrars, and provided them with a bit of a history lesson too. Where would we be without the Valsalva manoeuvre or the Doppler effect? And how will the medical students recall the path of the lingual nerve if it wasn’t for Thomas Wharton and his duct? Henry Gray will be turning in his pox-ridden grave.

  6. Great work! Anatomists are banding together to uphold the Terminologia Anatomica. Want to learn about who got to claim it first? Go do a history course. In anatomy, we’ll teach you the correct anatomical term which is descriptive to help your learning.

  7. No matter how much you try, i will keep using eponyms and teach them to my students. Stop whining about misoginy and other ridiculous complains and accept the fact that eponyms are great, more practical and they also uphold the memory of the great men of science. I am really sorry that you lost time doing this useless list.

  8. I would like to rename Müllerian glands that occur in Müllerian ducts in some male ranid frogs. It is confusing when labeling the glands and the ducts at the same time; one has to state Müllerian glands within the Müllerian ducts. I think it would be fitting to assign an eponymous name here for these simple tubular glands. I know a living person that I could name these glands after giving her extensive work on these ducts in male caecilians.
