Overview

Patients with tabes dorsalis may be asymptomatic. Physical examination of patients with tabes dorsalis is usually remarkable for: Argyll-Robertson pupils, impaired vibratory and proprioception sense, broad base and sensory ataxic gait and positive romberg's test.

Physical Examination

  • Physical examination of patients with tabes dorsalis is usually remarkable for: Argyll-Robertson pupils (bilateral small pupils that constrict when the patient focuses on a near object, but do not constrict when exposed to bright light), Impaired vibratory and proprioception sense, broad base and sensory ataxic gait and positive romberg's test (a test used for examination of neurological function for balance).

Appearance of the Patient

  • Patients with tabes dorsalis may be asymptomatic.[1]
