A point on the surface of the abdomen situated along a line from the umbilicus to where the anterior superior spine of the right ilium can be felt and at a distance of 1½ to 2 inches from this spine, which point normally lies directly above the appendix and is the point of maximum tenderness in appendicitis.

For the sake of brevity, and as a proper recognition of the value of this symptom, I shall speak of this point as ‘McBurney's point’.
