Neuropsychological findings following whiplash injury of the cervical spine

: 58 patients with whiplash injury of the cervical spine underwent formal testing with respect to self-rated cognitive impairment and processing of visual and auditory information. The results indicated disturbances in divided attention for auditory information, particularly in patients with so-called cervicoencephalic syndrome. Impaired attentional control was assumed to be relevant to processes of the working memory.
