Sažetak
Anton von Tröltsch was well known German otologist and one of the pioneers of modern otology. The aim of this paper is to present his educational experiences in Continental Europe and the British Isles. This paper is based on an analysis of the data concerning this topic, from medico-historical books, scientific articles, and internet sources. Anton von Tröltsch was trained as an ophthalmologist and otologist, but later devoted himself to otology only. His most famous teachers were the ophthalmologists Albrecht von Gräfe, in Berlin, and Ferdinand von Arlt, in Prague, the ophthalmologist and otologist William Wilde from Dublin and the otologist Joseph Toynbee from London. He popularized the ‘reflecting aural mirror’ and the speculum for usage in otoscopy. He was one of the founders of the first otological journal. In 1857 he opened an ear clinic in Würzburg. This paper describes his training and work in otology. Professor A. v. Tröltsch made a great contribution to the development of modern otology thanks to his dedicated work and excellent training with eminent doctors of the time. He was especially impressed by British ear medicine, which led to his devotion to otology.
