Willem Vrolik (29 April 1801 – 22 December 1863) was a Dutch anatomist and pathologist who was a native of Amsterdam. He was a pioneer in the field of vertebrate teratology. He studied medicine at the University of Utrecht, and furthered his studies in Paris, where he received his degree in 1823. In 1829 he became a professor of anatomy and physiology at the University of Groningen, and in 1831 a professor of anatomy, physiology and natural sciences at the Athenaeum Illustre (University of Amsterdam), where he remained for the rest of his career.

  • Willem Vrolik (29 April 1801 – 22 December 1863) was a Dutch anatomist and pathologist who was a native of Amsterdam. He was a pioneer in the field of vertebrate teratology. He studied medicine at the University of Utrecht, and furthered his studies in Paris, where he received his degree in 1823. In 1829 he became a professor of anatomy and physiology at the University of Groningen, and in 1831 a professor of anatomy, physiology and natural sciences at the Athenaeum Illustre (University of Amsterdam), where he remained for the rest of his career. Vrolik made contributions in the fields of comparative anatomy and comparative zoology, and also did important research of skeletal disorders such as osteogenesis imperfecta. Along with specimens collected by his father, anatomist Gerardus Vrolik (1775–1859), he had amassed an impressive anatomical collection during his career. After Willem's death, donations from various sources have added significantly to the collection. The "Museum Vrolikianum" ). consists of various human and zoological body parts, fetuses and plaster casts that exhibit different aspects of embryology, pathology and anatomy. The museum also contains numerous examples of congenital malformations. Willem Vrolik published teratological works on cyclopia, the pathogenesis of congenital anomalies, and a treatise on conjoined twins. In the 1840s he published Handboek der ziektekundige ontleedkunde (Handbook of pathological anatomy), as well as Tabulae ad illustrandam embryogenesin hominis et mammalium tam naturalem quam abnormem. The latter book contained numerous illustrative plates on the embryogenesis of vertebrates, including congenital anomalies of various species, including man. In 1850, the book won the Prix Montyon from the French Academy of Sciences. He was also the author of highly regarded treatises on the chimpanzee (1841), Hyperoodon (1847), and Manatus americanus (1852). Vrolik became a correspondent of the Royal Institute in 1829, and a member in 1832. When the Royal Institute became the Royal Netherlands Academy of Arts and Sciences in 1851 Vrolik became a member.

  • Willem Vrolik (ur. 29 kwietnia 1801 w Amsterdamie, zm. 22 grudnia 1863 tamże) – holenderski anatom i patolog. Związany przez całe życie z Amsterdamem, jego ojcem był anatom (1775–1859). Rozpoczął studia medyczne na Uniwersytecie w Utrechcie i ukończył je w 1823 roku w Paryżu. W 1829 został profesorem anatomii i fizjologii na Uniwersytecie w Groningen, a w 1831 profesorem anatomii, fizjologii i historii naturalnej w Athenaeum Illustre (Universiteit van Amsterdam), gdzie pozostał do końca kariery naukowej. Vrolik dokonał wielu odkryć na polu anatomii i zoologii porównawczej, badał również wady wrodzone kości, opisując między innymi, jako pierwszy, osteogenesis imperfecta. Jest też znany za jego pionierskie prace nad teratologią kręgowców. Wraz z ojcem zgromadził kolekcję preparatów anatomicznych, patomorfologicznych i histopatologicznych liczącą ponad 2000 okazów, obecnie wystawianą jako "Museum Vrolikianum". Willem Vrolik opublikował opisy cyklopii i innych zaburzeń rozwojowych, w tym traktat o zroślakach. (pl)
