Abstract:
Georges Marinesco was one of Romania's most eminent physicians and an accomplished neurologist. He had diverse interests in anatomy and neuropathology. He has been honored on postage stamps issued by his birth nation on several occasions. Neurologists and geneticists know of him for the rare familial degenerative neurological disorder that has been named after him, the Marinesco-Sjögren syndrome.
