Rosenstein's sign, also known as Sitkovskiy sign, is a
sign of acute appendicitis.[1]
It is observed when tenderness in the right lower quadrant increases when the patient moves from the
recumbent posture on the left side.[2]
Etymology
The sign is named after the almost forgotten
Jewish German physician and director of The Jewish Hospital, Berlin, Paul Rosenstein (1875–1964). Sitkovskiy's symptom[3]
is the equivalent symptom.
