Resumen:
To test the association between arcuate foramen (AF) in the first
cervical vertebra with acute headache attributed to whiplash.
Retrospective study of 128 patients that suffered a whiplash. The
presence or absence of AF was recorded after a radiographic study, as
well as the presence or absence of acute headache after the whiplash.
The frequency of AF was 17.2%. Patients with bilateral AF presented a
significant (p = 0.000, Fisher's test) increase in the frequency of
acute headache (90.9%) in comparison with the non-AF group (5.7%). The
ratio between the presence and absence of acute headache was 166.6 times
higher (IC 95% 18.2-1526.22) in subjects with bilateral AF in comparison
with non-AF subjects.
The presence of bilateral AF is associated to an increased frequency of
acute headache after suffering a whiplash, information of interest for
the attention to these patients.
