Müller's sign is the pulsation or bobbing of the uvula that occurs during systole.[1] It can be seen in patients with severe aortic insufficiency. Müller's sign is caused by an increased stroke volume.[citation needed]

Müller's sign is named for Friedrich von Müller, a German physician.[citation needed]
