Sign of Hertoghe
Medical condition / From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Sign of Hertoghe or Queen Anne's sign is a thinning or loss of the outer third of the eyebrows, and is a classical sign of hypothyroidism or atopic dermatitis,[1][2][3] but it can also be detected in lepromatous leprosy.[4] The sign is named after the Belgian Internist Eugene Ludovic Christian Hertoghe (April 5, 1860–January 3, 1928), who was a native of Antwerp, and was the first pioneer in thyroid function research.[2][3][5]
