title: [The brain of Paul Broca (1824-1880). Correlation of pathological and computed tomography findings (author's transl)].
abstract: This historical study briefly recalls the circumstances of Broca's death, and reports some new data concerning his autopsy, and an analysis of macroscopic, microscopic, and computed tomography appearances of his brain following its discovery by Huard. The authenticity of the origin of the brain was established,  and the hypothesis the Broca's death was due to rupture of a vascular malformation or a cerebrovascular accident was confirmed.
