[Determining the status of the cervical spine after whiplash injury]. 1994

J Dvorak, and T Ettlin, and G Jenzer, and J Mürner, and B P Radanov, and F Walz

The results of medical investigations following acceleration mechanism to the cervical spine (so called "soft tissue neck injury") are to be described in common diagnostic terms. Biomechanical and legal considerations are beyond medical competence. In certain cases, the clinical examination must be completed in cooperation with specialists. Within the entire medical context, the neuropsychological and neuropsychiatric assessment may contribute to a comprehensive understanding of the consequences. In cases of litigation, the full array of facts, like the patients' previous history, and differential diagnoses, have to be drawn to attention. At present, compensation takes place only exceptionally and in a limited range, if an impairment by an accompanying brain injury is excluded.
