Alexander the Great (356-323 BC) and His Injury in Kyropolis Reconsidered

To reconsider Alexander the Great's injury in Kyropolis. Historical sources were compared with modern neurosurgery. Earlier interpretations were focused on the transient blindness Alexander the Great presented after the injury, but according to our point of view we should rather focus on his dysarthria which lasted almost two months. We propose the hypothesis that Alexander the Great developed a posttraumatic delayed cerebellar syndrome after the injury.
