Abadie's symptom

Abadie's symptom

Abadie's symptom may be elicited during clinical examination. Pinching of, or the application of firm pressure to, the Achilles tendon does not result in pain in tabes dorsalis. This is because the sense of deep pain has been abolished.

It is named for Joseph Louis Irenée Jean Abadie, a French neurologist.
