In 1932 the first successful resection of a cerebellar arteriovenous malformation was performed by Axel Herbert Olivecrona and Riives ¹⁾.

In 1932, James Watson Kernohan ²⁾ was the first to use the term myxopapillary in the division of his large series of spinal ependymomas into epithelial, cellular, and myxopapillary types on the basis of cytological architecture.

Kernohan has been recognized as the first neurosurgeon to report an intramedullary schwannoma though Penfield had already described an intramedullary lesion with schwannomas characteristics in 1932 ³⁾.

Cushing's name is commonly associated with his most famous discovery, Cushing's disease. In 1912 he reported in a study an endocrinological syndrome caused by a malfunction of the pituitary gland which he termed “polyglandular syndrome.” He published his findings in 1932 as “The Basophil Adenomas of the Pituitary Body and Their Clinical Manifestations: pituitary Basophilism”.

Steroid myopathy is usually an insidious disease process that causes weakness mainly to the proximal muscles of the upper and lower limbs and to the neck flexors. Cushing originally described it in 1932, and Muller and Kugelberg first studied it systemically in 1959.

In 1932, Walter Edward Dandy ⁴⁾ thought that the operative approach of GPN was the same with trigeminal neuralgia or Meniere’s disease.

The Mount Sinai Hospital was founded in 1852 under the name “The Jews' Hospital.” Neurosurgery at Mount Sinai Hospital can be traced to the work of Dr. Charles Albert Elsberg. In 1932, the Department of Neurosurgery was created under the direction of Dr. Ira Cohen. The history of neurosurgery at the Mount Sinai Hospital is recounted by Oppenheim ⁵⁾.

The Helsinki University Hospital is the oldest neurosurgical department in Finland, established in 1932.

In 1929, N.N. Burdenko and a neurologist V.V. Kramer founded the first neurosurgical clinic in Moscow, which was reorganized to the Institute of Neurosurgery in 1932. The Institute has come a long way through military and peaceful years, overcoming all sorts of obstacles. It has constantly developed, built, and modernized, and now this is the National Medical Research Center of Neurosurgery ⁶⁾.
