Dance's sign

Dance's sign is an eponymous medical sign consisting of an investigation of the right lower quadrant of the abdomen for retraction, which can be an indication of intussusception, i.e. those with intussusception may have retraction of the right iliac fossa.

Eponym

It was originally described by the French pathologist Jean Baptiste Hippolyte Dance (1797–1832).[1]

gollark: Although uwu is *not* HelloBoi.
gollark: #7 looks stereotypically helloboi, so it's clearly someone faking helloboi.
gollark: I assume it's weird homoglyph handling.
gollark: Yes.
gollark: I did NOT know you could do what #3 does with identifiers. Unless I wrote that and I actually do.
