Whiplash injury
popular Phrase largely used usually indicating a indirect Traumatism Rachis-cervical in inflection-extension, in general at the time of a Accident in a Vehicle brutally stopped. It rather produces Entorse S of the cervical rachis, usually benign, but not always. It can also produce Fracture S, particularly fractures of the body in compression.
The anglophone phrase for the same phenomenon is “whiplash injury”, traumatism in “whiplash”, which is adapted.
Indeed, one traditionally kills the rabbit by a direct blow behind the Nuque which produce a traumatism in Hyper-extension with a fracture or a high luxation of the cervical rachis involving of the central nervous system disorders and death by lesion of the medulla.
