Magnan's sign
   Also known as Magnan-Saury's sign and cocaine bugs. The eponym Magnan's sign refers to the French alienist Jacques Joseph-Valentin Magnan (1835-1916), who described the concomitant phenomenon in 1889 in a paper co-authored by a pupil named Saury (hence the second eponym, Magnan-Saury's sign). Both eponyms refer to a crawling, " tactile hallucination of a foreign body under the skin that is associated with the chronic use of cocaine. Save the association with cocaine, Magnan's sign is comparable with "formication.
