A quick definition of shaken-baby syndrome:

Shaken-baby syndrome is when a baby is shaken very hard and it hurts their brain. This can cause them to be blind or even die. It is one of the top reasons why babies die. Doctors first found out about it in the 1970s.

A more thorough explanation:

Shaken-baby syndrome is a medical condition that occurs when a child is violently shaken, resulting in brain injury. This condition is one of the leading causes of infant death and was first identified in the early 1970s.

Common injuries associated with shaken-baby syndrome include:

  • Retinal hemorrhage
  • Subdural hemorrhage
  • Subarachnoid hemorrhage

These injuries often occur without any signs of external cranial trauma. Victims of shaken-baby syndrome may be permanently blind or die as a result of their injuries.

For example, a caregiver who shakes a baby out of frustration or anger may cause the child to suffer from shaken-baby syndrome. The forceful shaking can cause the brain to bounce back and forth within the skull, resulting in bleeding and swelling.

It is important to seek medical attention immediately if you suspect a child has been shaken. Early intervention can help prevent long-term damage and save lives.
