Objective: to show new evidence on professional activity of Dr. Vicente Antonio de Castro y Bermúdez. Development: he is considered one of the pioneers of surgery for the correction of strabismus, according to constancy presented by bibliographer, Dr Carlos M. Trilles. He was the initiator of some interventions in the field of Angiology. He performed external iliac artery ligation to an African patient in 1842 in San Juan de Dios Hospital and right subdavia in 1848 as referred by Trelles Govín. In the field of Orthopedics, new evidence recently found by the author appeared which was not presented by the historians of Medicine in Cuba during the 20th Century and the first decade of the 21st Century when He also made incursions on Orthopedic Surgery.
