39 consecutive cases of whiplash injury of the neck were examined clinically and with MRI at a mean of 11 days after trauma. 26 of these showed changes on MRI with disc lesions in 25, 10 of which were classified as disc herniations, and a muscle lesion in 1 case. All had neck pain or headache. 29 cases had neurological deficits, mostly sensibility disturbances. 22 of the 26 cases with pathologic MRI findings had neurological signs, as had 7 of the 10 cases with disc herniation. The relationship between the MRI findings and the clinical symptoms and signs was poor.Downloads
