The tracheal tug sign ('''Oliver's sign''') can be elicited by asking the patient to sit with the head extended while grasping the Cricoid Cartilage and applying upward pressure. A downward tug of the Trachea synchronous with each Systole reveals the presence of an Aortic Arch Aneurysm . This occurs due to the anatomic position of the aortic arch, which overrides the left main Bronchus . SEE ALSO |
