Case Description: Ms. X — Forensic, Neuropsychological Score Report
Ms. X is a 47-year-old, separated woman who underwent a forensic neuropsychological evaluation in connection with a personal injury lawsuit she had filed. The litigation involved a motor vehicle accident that occurred several months prior to the evaluation. According to Ms. X she was cut off by another vehicle while driving, and, unable to avoid a collision, she broadsided the other car. She recalls striking her head against a window, but was uncertain whether she lost consciousness. She was transported to a local hospital where she remained hospitalized for several days. Ms. X was discharged with diagnoses of a severe neck sprain, a contusion resulting from restraint by her seatbelt, a bladder infection, torn ligaments in her left leg, and nerve damage in her left foot.
Medical records indicated that the attending paramedic who first evaluated Ms. X described her mental status as normal. At the hospital her Glascow Coma Scale score was 15/15. She is described in these records as presenting with a series of vaguely related symptoms and complaints that were investigated over the course of her hospitalization. Medical imaging studies did not reveal any abnormalities. Following discharge, after a series of complaints Ms. X was deemed to be incapable of caring for her own basic needs and found eligible to receive 24-hour assistance with basic living skills.
Ms. X reported having sustained another injury ten years prior to the recent motor vehicle accident when she fell into a ditch. According to her report a vertebrae fracture was diagnosed and treated unsuccessfully several years after this accident. She reported that prior to the first accident she had been employed as a paraprofessional, but she became disabled by the accident, and had not worked since this event. A review of medical records indicated that a number of evaluators concluded that Ms. X’s symptoms and complaints following the initial accident could not be explained medically.
Ms. X’s main complaint at the time of the current evaluation involved speech problems. Specifically, she complained that her speech was slowed and dysfluent, and that it required considerable effort for her to be able to speak. She also complained of diffuse pain with an unusual distribution, for which she was

receiving very high doses of opiate-based medication. Ms. X claimed that since the accident she had lost her ability to perform simple math and was experiencing significant memory problems. She also reported experiencing mood swings and sleep difficulties.
Ms. X was referred for an independent neuropsychological evaluation by attorneys for the insurance company that was handling her case. The evaluating neuropsychologist observed that she presented with very atypical stuttering speech and other pseudoneurologic symptoms. Effort tests were administered as part of the neuropsychological test battery, and the results indicated that Ms. X exerted adequate effort. Cognitive testing indicated intact functioning in most areas likely to be affected by a brain injury, with some problems most likely due to extensive medication use.
