Walter Edward Dandy (1886-1946) is considered to be one of the founding fathers of neurosurgery. Trained under Harvey Cushing, Dandy was the second Professor of Neurological Surgery at Johns Hopkins Hospital in Baltimore, Maryland. He has been credited with several critical discoveries, including the description of the circulation of cerebrospinal fluid in the brain, surgical treatment of hydrocephalus, the description of brain endoscopy and the first clipping of an intracranial aneurysm.
