Dorcas Hager Padget (1906-1973), a largely self-taught illustrator, became a more polished artist under Max Brödel at Johns Hopkins Hospital, before going to work for neurosurgeon Walter Dandy. In search of more information on vascular anatomy, she became an expert neuroembryologist, first in the development of arteries and veins and later chiefly involved with anomalies of neural tube development. She was able to clarify the development of the Arnold-Chiari and Dandy-Walker syndromes.
In a brief historical survey, the importance of Wilhelm His, senior, to human embryology is emphasized. He provided the impetus to Mall to establish the Carnegie Embryological Collection, which serves as a 'Bureau of Standards' for early human development. The Carnegie system of 23 stages for the embryonic period proper (first 8 postovulatory wk) is outlined, and some common misusages are noted. Finally, because of the difficulty in tracking down data based on staged human embryos, an annotated list of more than 40 key references is provided.
