Abstract

Occupational pathology studies the diseases of various organs and systems developed because of an exposure to different risk factors in the working environment. Some of the symptoms and syndromes associated with occupational diseases, or the methods for their diagnosis, bear the names of prominent scientists, researchers and physicians. An eponym is a person (real, mythological or fictional) who gives their name to a certain definition or period of time. In the second part of our review, we present the most frequently used eponyms related with the vibration disease from local and general vibration exposure.
