Charcot's neurologic triad

Charcot's neurologic triad is the combination of nystagmus, intention tremor, and scanning or staccato speech. This triad is associated with multiple sclerosis, where it was first described;^[1] however, it is not considered pathognomonic for it. It is named for Jean-Martin Charcot.^[2]
