We may think of whiplash only as a neck injury caused by forceful, rapid, back-and-forth-movement of the head and neck. The same occurrence, however, causes the brain to move within the skull, which may result in brain injury.
Brain injury can occur absent any direct external trauma to the skull. This frequently occurs in vehicular accidents involving sudden movement of the head The rapid acceleration and deceleration of the brain within the skull causes damage to nerve fibers and brain structures.
When the brain slides within the skull, contact with the interior sharp ridges and edges can cause damage to the brain’s soft tissue. These forces can cause the brain to move forward, backward, or rotate within the skull cavity and forcefully propel it against the interior protrusions, causing bruising, bleeding, and nerve destruction.
