Alazhuanin-Turel Symptom

Alajuanini-Teruel was isolated by the French neurologist J. Alajonan and the French reflexologist R. Turel in 1924 while studying the functions of the spinal cord in humans through electrodiagnostics in children with false spontaneous movement syndrome. When conducting an appropriate examination, they recorded the coincidence of the child’s movement in response to stimulation of areas of the central nervous system with the registration of an electrical impulse. Thus, a new phenomenon was identified, the name of which was given by their authors.

Today, this symptom is diagnosed when examining patients with diseases of the peripheral nervous system. It is very important for identifying how neurotropic the disease is and how long the decline in the functions of nervous tissue occurs and how pronounced it is.
