Abstract:
Whiplash is a lay term combining all the complications of a cervical sprain or distortion associated with an extension. It may lead to cervical or back pain, but patients may also complain about functional visual impairment. These visual complaints: fixation disparity, heterophoria or convergence insufficiency, are frequently neglected and difficult to quantitate and treat. Establishing the relationship between the indirect cervical trauma and the visual signs may be challenging for the medical-legal expert and must include consideration of the previous oculomotor status of the patient.
