Abstract
Johann Otto Leonhardt Heubner (1843-1926) was an exceptional physician who devoted his work to the Charité Children’s Clinic of Berlin University, where he earned the title of “father of German pediatrics”. However, Heubner’s scientific discoveries were not limited to a specific field. His early research, for instance, focused on anatomical studies of the brain’s circulation, and culminated in the description of both Heubner’s disease (syphilitic endarteritis) and the recurrent artery of Heubner: a structure of utmost importance to neurosurgeons. This article aims to make a brief history of Heubner and depict some of his most remarkable contributions to medicine.
