Historia de la cirugía de cráneo, de los tumores cerebrales y de la epilepsia en México

The first rapport of intra-cerebral tumor surgery was provided by Bennett & Goodle, in London, 1884. Worldwide this kind of surgery was performed in France by Chipault, in Italy by Durante, in the United States by Keen and in Deutchland by Krause & Oppenheim. Lavista in Mexico City operated on intra-cerebral tumor in 1891, and the rapport was printed in 1892. In the same publication, Lavista exhibited the first cases of epilepsy surgery. Since now, it is the first rapport of this kind of surgery in the Spanish spoken world.
