About Emil Redlich

Lived 1866 – 1930 (aged 64). Emil Redlich was an Austrian neurologist, psychiatrist and physician.

Emil Redlich (18 January 1866 – 9 June 1930) was an Austrian-Jewish neurologist born in Brünn.

In 1889, he received his doctorate from the University of Vienna, and later performed anatomical research of the brain at Heinrich Obersteiner’s institute. In 1895, he was a medical assistant at Julius Wagner-Jauregg's neurological institute, and in 1898 became head of a private mental institution in Inzersdorf, outside of Vienna. In 1914, he was appointed director of the Nervenheilanstalt Maria-Theresia-Schlössel in Vienna.

His name is associated with Redlich–Obersteiner's zone; the anatomical location where the central nervous system meets the peripheral nervous system. He also described a type of abortive disseminated encephalomyelitis with lesions scattered throughout the spinal cord and brain. This disorder was to become known as "Redlich–Flatau syndrome", named along with Edward Flatau (1868–1932), who stated that a virus could be the cause of the disease.
