The Marchiafava-Bignami disease has a curious backstory, namely, the publication in 1898 of the Contribution to the Study of Nonsuppurative Encephalitis (Carducci A in Riv Psicol Psichiat Neuropat 8-9:125-135, 1898), in which the neo-graduate Agostino Carducci described the disease that the pathologists Ettore Marchiafava and Amico Bignami would report 5 years later.
