Differential diagnosisacute appendicitis

Rosenstein's sign, also known as Sitkovskiy sign is a sign of acute appendicitis.[1]

It is observed, when tenderness in the right lower quadrant increases when the patient moves from the supine position to a recumbent posture on the left side.[2]

Etymology

The sign is named after the almost forgotten Jewish German physician and director of The Jewish Hospital, Berlin, Paul Rosenstein (1875–1964). Sitkovskiy's symptom[3] is the equivalent symptom.
