André Rochon-Duvigneaud (1863 - 1952) was a French ophthalmologist born in Dordogne.
He studied medicine in Bordeaux, and in 1889 became an interne at the Hôtel-Dieu in Paris. In 1892 he earned his doctorate with a thesis on the anatomical angle of the eye's anterior chamber and Schlemm's canal. In 1895 he was appointed chef de clinic. In 1926 he retired from clinical medicine, dedicating himself to comparative studies on the eyes of various animal species. In 1940 he became a member of the Académie de Médecine.
In 1896 he described a neurological disorder characterized by exophthalmos, diplopia, and anaesthesia in regions innervated by the trigeminal nerve, and occurring with a traumatic collapse of the superior orbital fissure. At the time he referred to the condition as "sphenoidal fissure syndrome", later to be known as "Rochon-Duvigneaud's syndrome".[1][2] Also, he is credited with identifying recessive-inherited glaucoma with buphthalmos in New Zealand white rabbits.[3]
