Joseph Jumentie (1879-1928), through his clinical skill and expertise in
anatomical pathology, enhanced the prestige of the master neurologists he studied
under- Jules Dejerine, Augusta Dejerine-Klumpke and Joseph Babinski -and their
fame overshadowed the crucial support that Jumentie provided them. Following a
remarkable doctoral thesis in 1911, which defined the semiology of tumors in the
cerebellopontine angle, Jumentie conducted research into various areas of
neurology and authored numerous publications. The present report discusses, as
examples of his work, his research on the cerebellum and brain tumors, as well as
his contribution to Dejerine-Klumpke's use of serial sectioning to identify the
'fasciculi' of corticospinal tracts. This discussion is introduced by a brief
biography illustrated by photographs, most of which have never before been
published.
