Contrecoup Injury
Contrecoup injuries take place as a result of the jarring side toside impact often involved in motorcycle, pedestrian, and
automobile accidents. It causes the brain to be propelled against
both sides of your skull. Normally cases like this are from the
brain rebounding and crashing into the other side of the cranium,
causing it to strike both sides of your skull. Thus, a contrecoup
injury is the ultimate result.
