Cervical motion tenderness or cervical excitation is a sign found on a gynecological pelvic examination suggestive of pelvic pathology. Classically, it is present in the setting of pelvic inflammatory disease (PID) or ectopic pregnancy and is of some use to help differentiate PID from appendicitis.[1] It is also known colloquially as chandelier sign due to the Template:Incomprehensible span Seen in PID.[2]
