Abstract: Objective: The history of Anatomical Pathology in the state of Paran��, in southern Brazil, is closely linked with the foundation of the Universidade Federal do Paran�� (UFPR). This study identified the first central nervous system (CNS) clinical autopsy performed by the Department of Anatomical Pathology of the UFPR. Methods: This study reviewed the autopsy report archives of the Hospital de Cl��nicas-UFPR from 1951 onward. The clinical anatomy interpretations of the autopsy report and possible etiologic agents were discussed. Result: The first adult clinical autopsy with CNS study was performed on April 23, 1952 on a 45-year-old man with lobar pneumonia with abscesses complicated by bacterial meningitis. Conclusion: This case was the first CNS clinical autopsy performed in the state of Paran�� and, possibly, in southern Brazil. The death was due to an infectious disease, which was the main cause of death in Brazil in the 1950s.
