| Gürtelgefühl girdle sensation Explanation: auch Zonästhesie (zonaesthesia) genannt. Gefühl, als ob ein fester Gürtel den Körper umgibt. Vork.: bei intraspinaler Raumforderung, entzündlichen Erkrankungen d. Rückenmarks; gürtelförmige Schmerzen u.a. auch bei Tabes dorsalis (Rückenmarkschwindsucht) Multipler Sklerose.
