Vladimir Karlovich Roth
Vladimir Karlovich Roth, sometimes Rot (Russian: Владимир Карлович Рот; 5 October 1848 – 6 January 1916) was a Russian Empire neuropathologist.
Roth was native of
nervous diseases at the Staro-Ekaterininskii hospital in Moscow, where he also opened a school of nursing. In 1895 he attained the title of "professor extraordinarius", and from 1902 to 1911, he held the chair of neurological
diseases at Moscow University.
In 1895 Roth described meralgia paraesthetica (Bernhardt-Roth syndrome), a disease characterized by numbness or pain in the outer thigh, caused by an injury of the lateral cutaneous nerve of thigh. This condition is sometimes referred to as "Bernhardt-Roth paraesthesia", named in conjunction with German neuropathologist Martin Bernhardt (1844–1915), who described the disorder independent of Roth.
