Parrot's nodes
Also known as:
Parrot’s sign.
Associated persons:
Joseph Marie Jules Parrot
Description:
Parrot described his nodes in the skull as resembling nates or buttocks; Frederick Treves (1853-1923) commented “They have been termed natiform elevations by M. Parrot, from their supposed resemblance when viewed collectively, the nates. To the English mind they would rather suggest the outlines of a hot cross bun!”
