Brudziński cheek sign
From Self-sufficiency
The Brudziński cheek sign or Brudziński's cheek phenomenon is a clinical sign in which pressure on the cheek elicits a reflex rise and flexion of the forearm. It is found in patients with meningitis, and is analogous to the Brudziński symphyseal sign in the lower limb.
The sign is named after Józef Brudziński.
