LOCAL EXAMINATION OF THE CHEST

The presence of whispered pectoriloquy over the spinous process of the 4th, 5th and 6th thoracic vertebrae in adults & over the first 2 or 3 thoracic spines in infants is called D’Espin’s sign. Bronchophony and whispering pectoriloquy are heard in the same instances with bronchial breathing. ................
