French term

BB4M à ma demande

French to English Medical Medical (general) Neurology?
Hello,

I am translating some nursing notes on a patient and have come across this "BB4M à ma demande, PERLA stable"

I think it has something to do with a neurological examination judging by the context and from what I can see online but I cannot find exactly what it stands for. Any ideas?

Thanks in advance!
