Hello, I am hoping someone can answer a question for me. Have you ever heard of a (sounds like) "Meyer's sign" or "Meyerson sign" with regard to the physical exam of a patient being evaluated for a glioblastoma? The physician specifically says the patient has a positive "Meyer's sign" but negative rooting and palmomental reflexes.

What I am specifically looking for is the spelling and a general definition of this. I can document a Meyer's loop or Meyer-Archambault loop but not a "sign." I have searched high and low and unfortunately do not have access to the physician for confirmation.

Thank you in advance for any and all help you can provide.
Loretta
