| Uhthoff symptom | A transient temperature-dependent numbness, weakness, or loss of vision. Conduction stops in any nerve if the temperature gets too high. In a damaged nerve, e.g., by demyelinization, this shutdown temperature is lowered, and may approach normal body temperature. Transient neurological dysfunction may then appear with a hot shower, exercise, or fever. Synonym: Uhthoff syndrome. (05 Mar 2000) |
| Kerandel's symptom | Deep-seated hyperesthesia observed in cases of sleeping sickness. (05 Mar 2000) |
| Kussmaul's symptom | <clinical sign> In constrictive pericarditis, a paradoxical increase in venous distention and pressure during inspiration; seen occasionally in effusive-constrictive pericarditis when tamponading pericardial fluid overlies a constricting epicarditis. Synonym: Kussmaul's symptom. (05 Mar 2000) |
| Fischer's symptom | <clinical sign> An obsolete sign: in tuberculosis of the mediastinal or peri-bronchial glands, after bending the patient's head as far back as possible, auscultation over the manubrium sterni will sometimes reveal a continuous loud murmur caused by the pressure of the enlarged glands on the large mediastinal vessels. Synonym: Fischer's symptom. (05 Mar 2000) |
