Eponymous medical signs are those that are named after a person or persons, usually the physicians who first described them, as a tribute to the pioneers in the field who have significantly contributed toward the present understanding of the subject. They also help in providing an easy milieu for remembering the particulars of disease with their diagnostic significance including signs, tests, criteria, laws, or reflexes. Besides paying tributes to stalwarts in the field, who dedicated their lives for this cause, they also facilitate our current understanding of the great masquerade.
以人名命名的医学体征是指以一个人或多个人的名字命名的体征,通常是以首次描述它们的医生的名字命名,以此向该领域的先驱者致敬,他们为目前对该主题的理解做出了重大贡献。它们还有助于提供一个便于记忆疾病细节及其诊断意义的环境,包括体征、检查、标准、定律或反射。除了向该领域为这一事业奉献一生的杰出人物致敬外,它们还促进了我们目前对这一“伟大伪装者”(疾病)的理解。
