Not the TBI: Not a usual result from the tbi itself but may be due to the trauma that caused the tbi. Often the main concern after trauma is the major injury. After this is treated then many secondary injuries become evident. The neck may have been injured as well.

Usually not: Tbi itself is not usually the cause of neck pain. However, tbi is frequently associated with neck injuries that range from pulling of ligaments to fractures of the cervical spine. If you consider the close proximity of the neck to the head, this is not surprising.
