At the origin of “Endocrinology and Art”: Woman’s Head (third century BCE)

AbstractIn 1911, the Danish physician Hans Christian Gram  (1853–1938) sustained to have found signs of hyperthyroidism in a marble head of a Roman woman that he observed in the Ny Carlsberg Glyptotek in Copenhagen. It could be one of the first examples of a clinical diagnosis of an endocrine disease in an ancient statue.
