Sentona Symptom

Senton's symptom

French neuropathologist Pierre Paul Senton (1829-1915) is a renowned specialist who, during his long career, studied the nervous system and developed a method of clinical diagnosis. He is famous for his development of the "Seton's sign", which allows the detection of brain diseases.

Senton's symptom is a clinical study based on examination and observation of the patient's behavior. During the examination, the doctor can identify a variety of signs that can help determine the cause of diseases of the central nervous system. This symptom has existed for more than 120 years, but still remains an effective tool in diagnosing pathologies of the brain and nervous system as a whole.

The basis of the Senton symptom is that the patient is asked to answer a series of simple questions aimed at examining his visual, auditory and motor functions. Often the patient is a young teenager who is mentally taxed and has learning difficulties. However, this method has some limitations, primarily due to the fact that not every doctor has experience with this tool.

At the same time, the Senton symptom is increasingly used in modern medicine, despite the fact that there are numerous alternative research methods. It is important to note that Senton's sign plays an important role in identifying various brain disorders, such as visual and hearing impairment, as well as impaired motor coordination and emotional disorders.
