In [[1965]] [[Dwight Parkinson]]
((Parkinson D. A surgical approach to the cavernous portion of the carotid artery. Anatomical studies and case report. J Neurosurg. 1965;23:474–483.))
was the first to realize an anatomical study and to propose a surgical [[approach]] to the [[cavernous sinus]] ([[CS]]). 

[[Dwight Parkinson]] developed a training program in neurosurgery in [[Winnipeg]] and became its first program director as well as chief of the Division of Neurosurgery--a position he held for 24 years, until retiring in 1981. As chairman of this small division, without the major time commitment to administrative responsibilities required of a large department, he was provided the opportunity for independent
and uninterrupted work.

Throughout his many years in Winnipeg, he has worked independently, remaining innovative with a high degree
of productivity. A review of his more than 100 scientific articles published over a period of 30 years reveals the significance of his scientific contributions to the advancement of his profession.
