SBS (shaken baby syndrome) or shaken baby syndrome in a pattern of injuries that occur due to the baby shaking strongly with both hands. The signs and symptoms will be seen in classic with no evidence of external trauma. SBS is characterized by intracranial injury (subdural hematoma usually) and retinal haemorrhage (in 60-80% of cases). There is also the possibility of bone fractures. Fractures of the most distinctive in the newborn is a fracture in the corner and the posterior head. Injury is thought to occur because of the style of acceleration, deceleration, and rotation of the head of a powerful (remember the baby's neck muscles are weak). Sometimes it adds to a conflict of styles is due to a sudden deceleration.
To explain the cause of death or neurologic disorders in children, nannies can say that the boy fell from a chair, bed, or child suddenly can not breathe so that the caregivers shake it in order to breathe again. This story was obviously made as to cause damage as seen on SBS needed a very strong shocks.
If there is suspicion of the possibility of SBS, the examination using an indirect ophthalmoscope in a dilated eye must be done by an experienced specialist ophthalmology. In addition, CT scans can be used for immediate diagnosis, but MRI (magnetic resonance imaging) is more sensitive and to help determine the time of hemorrhage. Other tests may include the skeletal x-rays and tests bleeding.
