Dear Editors,

Castilho-Torres et al., from Mexico, wrote a very interesting letter entitled “Another one that extends the toe: the Austregésilo-Esposel sign”[1]. The authors make complimentary comments on the manuscript recently published by Novis et al.[2] and present a case report of an 89-year-old patient with ischemic stroke, who presents the Babinski sign, and also its substitutes, the Chaddock, Oppenheimer and Austregésilo-Esposel signs, documented by figures and video[1]. We greatly appreciate the authors' contributions and congratulate them on the excellent description of the Austregésilo-Esposel sign.
