What is A patient with an endocrine abnormality shows 'hung up' reflex. Which of the following condition causes 'hung up' reflex? and explain in detail?
A prolonged relaxation phase of a deep tendon reflex causing a "hung up" reflex, especially of the ankle jerk, is a classical finding of hypothyroidism (Woltman's sign), but is not specific for it. Hung-up reflexes can also be seen in diabetes, hypothermia, and in the presence of ceain drugs. The reflexes return to normal with treatment. Ref: Bauer D.C., McPhee S.J. (2010). Chapter 20.
