Primo Dorello (1872–1963) was an Italian anatomist. He is best known for identifying Dorello's canal.[1]

Personal life

Dorello was born in 1872 in Narni, Umbria.[2] Dorello studied medicine at the University of Rome in 1897.[2][3] He also had an interest in photography, particularly of Italian architecture.[2][3] He died in 1963.[3][4]

Career

He later became an assistant professor at the University of Rome until 1922.[3] He later went on to become the chair of human anatomy at the University of Perugia, a position he held for 20 years between 1926 and 1946.[2] He remained an emeritus professor during retirement.[3]

Dorello performed dissections of the previously-discovered Gruber ligament.[2][5] These began in 1905.[3][5] Beneath the Gruber ligament, he identified Dorello's canal.[2][6] This contains the abducens nerve (CN VI) and the inferior petrosal sinus.[2] His identification was confirmed years layer.[3] He theorised possible diseases associated with Dorello's canal, including entrapment of the abducens nerve due to inflammation.[7]

Awards and recognitions

Dorello worked on anatomy topics in the Treccani Encyclopaedia.[3] In 1939, he was nominated for the Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine.[2][4] He also nominated four scientists for the prize.[8]
