Abstract

A 67-year-old woman was in the front seat of a stopped car that was struck from the rear by a truck. She was wearing a seat belt, and it was observed that her head did not strike the windshield. She immediately became amnesic and recovered in 72 hours. It is postulated that the transient amnesia was the result of a whiplash insult to the brain.

摘要

一名67岁女性坐在一辆停下的汽车前排座位上，该车被一辆卡车从后方撞上。她系着安全带，且观察到她的头部未撞到挡风玻璃。她立即出现失忆症状，并在72小时后恢复。据推测，短暂性失忆是脑部受到挥鞭样损伤所致。
