	„On edema of the vertebral canal” – remarks on the beginnings of neurology in Poland. A critical study of Wincenty Herberski doctor’s theses.

	The goal of the paper is to analyze the Latin doctoral dissertation of Wincenty Herberski: „Dissertatio inauguralis medico-practica de hydrope specus vertebralis” (“On ascites of the spinal canal”). The author, under the direction of Professor Josef Frank, defended his doctoral theses at the University of Vilnius in 1812. The dissertation discusses the clinical manifestation and contemporary views on the pathogenesis of the spinal canal edema. The presented conception was dominated by a combination of ideas: organ pathology and the Hippocrates theory of inflammation. The subject of the dissertation and its pioneering character, makes Wincenty Herberski one of the precursors of Polish neurology.
