About August Von Rothmund
- August von Rothmund (August 1, 1830 – October 27, 1906) was a German ophthalmologist from Volkach, Lower Franconia.
- In 1853 he received his doctorate from the University of Munich, and furthered his studies in Berlin under Albrecht von Graefe (1828–1870); in Prague with Carl Ferdinand von Arlt (1812–1887) and in Vienna with Eduard Jäger von Jaxtthal (1818–1884).
- In 1854 he returned to Munich, where he became director of the surgical policlinic (Reisingerianum).
- In 1863 he was appointed "full professor", at the University of Munich, where he practiced ophthalmology until his retirement in 1900.
- He was the son of noted surgeon Franz Christoph von Rothmund (1801–1891). In 1868 Rothmund was the first physician to describe a rare hereditary oculocutaneous disease that consisted of telangiectasia, erythema, congenital cataracts and bone defects, along with other symptoms.
- This disorder was to become known as the Rothmund-Thomson Syndrome; named in conjunction with British physician Matthew Sydney Thomson FRSE (1894–1969).
