Italian anatomist
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.

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.

Dorello performed
dissections of the previously-discovered Gruber ligament.

[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 .

Awards and recognitions
Dorello worked on anatomy topics in the
Treccani Encyclopaedia .
[3] In 1939, he was nominated for the
