Though Lhermette's sign is most commonly associated with MS, it can also have other underlying causes. The Indian Academy of Neurology study points out that Lhermette's can be the result of chemotherapy, physical trauma, disc herniation, lupus, parasitic invasion in the spinal cord, spinal cord compression, a herpes zoster infection, and more.
Speaking with your doctor about your symptoms may allow them to rule out these other conditions in order to reach a diagnosis.

Knowing the other common symptoms of multiple sclerosis may help you reach a diagnosis faster. According to the National MS Society, those with the condition often experience fatigue, walking difficulties, weakness, numbness or tingling, stiffness or muscle spasms, vertigo, dizziness, vision problems, pain, itching, or a squeezing sensation around the torso. MS patients also commonly experience cognitive changes, including difficulty with problem solving, slowed ability to process new information, and emotional changes.
Less frequently, MS patients experience problems with speech, swallowing, breathing, hearing, and taste. Some individuals with MS will experience seizures or tremor.
Talk to your doctor if you notice these or any other symptoms that you believe could be associated with the central nervous system.
