Tragically, some babies are violently shaken and the vigorous whiplash motion can cause the brain to rebound off the skull and result in traumatic brain injury. As a consequence swelling, bruising and internal bleeding may occur. Symptoms may include loss of consciousness, dilated pupils, behavioural changes, and tiredness, pale / bluish skin, breathing difficulties and vomiting.
Shaken baby syndrome is a serious brain injury and prognosis is usually poor. Most children are left with considerable disabilities including loss of vision. If the child survives lifelong medical care for brain damage injuries such as mental retardation or cerebral palsy are often needed. The most severe cases result in death.
The condition is usually a result of an aggressive crime committed out of frustration or stress in response to an incessantly crying baby. Research is being carried out on how to treat this serious personal injury and how to prevent shaken baby syndrome from occurring in the future.
