Signs

Question 1

Becker’s sign, or Becker’s phenomenon

Answer 1

the presence of visible (through an ophthalmoscope) pulsation of retinal arteries, found in patients with aortic insufficiency or Graves’ disease.

Question 2

Corrigan’s pulse and Quincke’s pulse are two findings of

Answer 2

chronic severe aortic regurgitation

Question 3

The Quincke sign, also known as the Quincke pulse, represents?

Answer 3

visualization of capillary pulsations upon light compression applied to the tip of the fingernail bed

Question 4

Corrigan pulse

Answer 4

excessive visible pulsations of arteries in patients with aortic valve insufficiency, most obvious in the head and superior extremity arteries when the patient is upright;

in particular, the subclavian, carotid, temporal, brachial, and palmar arteries.

Question 5

De Musset’s sign

Answer 5

A physical sign of severe aortic regurgitation that involves the head bobbing in time with the heartbeat

Cause: Severe Aortic Regurgitation

Question 6

Gerhardt’s sign

Answer 6

Also known as “Sailer’s sign,” in severe aortic valve regurgitation,

Gerhardt’s sign is present when pulsations of the spleen are detected in the presence of splenomegaly.

This is from the large forward stroke volume that is present in this state.

Question 7

Hill’s sign

Answer 7

In severe aortic valve regurgitation, Hill’s sign refers to a popliteal systolic blood pressure exceeding brachial systolic blood pressure by 60 mm Hg or greater.

Question 8

Landolfi’s sign

Answer 8

Rapid alternate constriction and dilation of the left pupil occurring synchronously with heartbeat in our patient

Question 9

Lincoln sign

Lincoln sign refers to forceful popliteal artery pulsation secondary to aortic regurgitation;

exaggerated when the patient sits with legs crossed; and

deemed positive if the elevated foot bobs up and down with each systolic contraction.
