Auguste Louis Jules Millard

Auguste Louis Jules Millard (30 April 1830, Paris – 13 November 1915, Paris) was a French physician.

He studied medicine in Paris, where in 1860 he attained the title of médecin des hôpitaux. He subsequently worked at the Hôpital des Enfants-Malades, Hôpital Saint-Antoine and the Hôpital Lariboisière. From 1877 until 1895, he was associated with the Hôpital Beaujon in Paris.^[1] In 1854 he became a member of the Société anatomique de Paris (honorary member from 1866).^[2]

In 1855 he identified a disorder characterized by unilateral softening of the brain caused by obstruction of the blood vessels of the pons. The condition was to become known as "Millard-Gubler syndrome", named in conjunction with Adolphe-Marie Gubler, who described the syndrome in a paper published in 1856.^[3]
