2. Whiplash (medicine) - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Whiplash_(medicine)

   Before the invention of the car, whiplash injuries were called "railway spine" as they were noted mostly in connection with train collisions. The first case of severe neck pain arising from a train collision was documented around 1919. [8] The number of whiplash injuries has since risen sharply due to rear-end motor vehicle collisions.

3. Cervicocranial syndrome - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cervicocranial_syndrome

   In a car accident, the vehicle jerks the neck forward and backward resulting in cervical spine damage resulting in a whiplash. As a result, the cervical spine become misaligned and produces direct spinal cord irritation creating tighter muscles on one side of the body [24] Neck braces can help temporarily. Surgery is required if needed.

4. Cervical collar - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cervical_collar

   A cervical collar, also known as a neck brace, is a medical device used to support and immobilize a person's neck. It is also applied by emergency personnel to those who have had traumatic head or neck injuries, [ 1 ] although they should not be routinely used in prehospital care.

5. Neck pain - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Neck_pain

   Neck pain, although felt in the neck, can be caused by numerous other spinal problems. Neck pain may arise due to muscular tightness in both the neck and upper back, or pinching of the nerves emanating from the cervical vertebrae. Joint disruption in the neck creates pain, as does joint disruption in the upper back.

6. Cerebrospinal fluid leak - Wikipedia

   [2] [3] Causes of a primary CSF leak are those of trauma including from an accident or intentional injury, or arising from a medical intervention known as iatrogenic. A basilar skull fracture as a cause can give the sign of CSF leakage from the ear, nose or mouth. [4] A lumbar puncture can give the symptom of a post-dural-puncture headache.

7. Head injury - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Head_injury

   Head injury may be associated with a neck injury. Bruises on the back or neck, neck pain, or pain radiating to the arms are signs of cervical spine injury and merit spinal immobilization via application of a cervical collar and possibly a longboard. If the neurological exam is normal this is reassuring.
