Roger Lhermitte (born 1918) is a French neurologist known for his contributions to neuroscience, particularly in the field of multiple sclerosis and its related conditions. One of his notable contributions is the "Lhermitte's sign," which refers to a sudden sensation like an electric shock that occurs in the spine and may radiate down the legs when the neck is flexed. This sign is often associated with multiple sclerosis but can also be seen in other neurological conditions.
