l'hermitte's

Hiya, I just wanted to ask if anyone knows of any data that shows that L'hermitte's sign is a strong reflection of spinal lesion. Thanks.

Hi @camilla_foster I've got a few lesions on my spinal cord and my brain. I haven't suffered l'hemittes once. So I'd have a guess that it's not a full blown conclusion. I might have it one day though who knows?

@camilla_foster , l'Hermitte's is one symptom of nerve demyelination, which can have various causes, including MS. I'm sure there would be some form of statistics out there regarding the prevalence of this symptom. But, this is just one symptom and on it's own is not conclusive of any condition.
