Abstract:
Cognitive disturbances are frequent complaints in patients following whiplash injury and form the basis of attempts to claim that minimal brain damage has been caused, even in the absence of clinical or imaging evidence to support these claims. Pain and cognitive deficits are the most commonly feigned medical complaints. However, the boundary between aggravation and/or malingering is generally not easy to identify. Relevant indications include discrepancies between the reported symptoms and the findings identified in the immediate post-trauma phase.
