Seat belt syndrome is a collective term that includes all injury profiles associated with the use of seat belts. It is defined classically as a seat belt sign (seat belt marks on the body) plus an intra-abdominal organ injury (e.g. bowel perforations) and/or thoraco-lumbar vertebral fractures. The seat-belt sign was originally described by Garrett and Braunstein in 1962 as linear ecchymosis of the abdominal wall following a motor vehicle accident. It is indicative of an internal injury in as many as 30% of cases seen in the emergency department. Disruption of the abdominal wall musculature can also occur but is relatively uncommon.

  • Seat belt syndrome (sinngemäß Sicherheitsgurt-Syndrom) ist ein Sammelbegriff, der alle Verletzungen im Zusammenhang mit Sicherheitsgurten subsumiert. Es wird klassisch als eine Gurtmarke am Körper plus eine Verletzung des Bauchorganes (z. B. Darmperforationen) und/oder Brust-Lenden-Wirbelkörperfrakturen definiert. Die Gurtmarke wurde ursprünglich 1962 von Garrett und Braunstein als lineare Ekchymose der Bauchdecke nach einem Straßenverkehrsunfall beschrieben. In bis zu 30 % der Fälle in der Notaufnahme ist dies ein Hinweis auf eine innere Verletzung. Ein Riss der Bauchwandmuskulatur kann ebenfalls auftreten, ist jedoch relativ selten. (de)

Apart from the medical aspects of injury, there are some legal issues associated with seat belt injuries. If your seat belt fails and this can be proved, then you may be entitled to compensation. On the other hand, it may be argued that you did not wear your seat belt as it was intended or designed. (en)
