French pathologist and otolaryngologist
Frédéric Justin Collet
Frédéric Justin Collet (28 April 1870 – 1966) was a French pathologist and otolaryngologist .
He studied medicine in Lyon , where he had as instructors Raphaël Lépine (1851–1919), and Antonin Poncet (1849–1913). In 1894 he obtained his doctorate, and in 1901 was appointed médecin des hôpitaux . Later he became a professor of general pathology in Lyon, being appointed professor of internal pathology in 1907, and a professor of otolaryngology in 1927.
In 1910 with André Chantemesse (1851–1919) and Antonin Poncet (1849–1913), he founded the Bibliothèque de la Tuberculose , which was a collection of monographs dedicated to tuberculosis .
Collet-Sicard syndrome
In 1915 he described a disorder he called "glossolaryngoscapulopharyngeal hemiplegia ", which was later to be named "Collet's syndrome". This disorder is caused by a lesion of cranial nerves IX , X , XI , and XII , resulting in paralysis of the vocal cords , palate , trapezius muscle and sternocleidomastoid muscle . It also results in anaesthesia of the larynx , pharynx and soft palate . This condition is sometimes referred to as "Collet-Sicard syndrome", named in conjunction with Jean-Athanase Sicard , who provided a description of the disorder independent of Collet.
