WHAT DOES SHAKEN BABY SYNDROME MEAN IN ENGLISH?

shaken baby syndrome

Shaken baby syndrome

Shaken baby syndrome is a triad of medical findings: subdural hematoma, retinal hemorrhage, and cerebral edema from which some physicians, consistent with current medical understanding, infer child abuse caused by intentional shaking. In a majority of cases there is no visible sign of external trauma. SBS is often fatal and can cause severe brain damage, resulting in lifelong disability. Estimated death rates among infants with SBS range from 15% to 38%; the median is 20%–25%. Up to half of deaths related to child abuse are reportedly due to shaken baby syndrome. Nonfatal consequences of SBS include varying degrees of visual impairment, motor impairment and cognitive impairments.
