- 4. INTRODUCTION Shaken baby syndrome is a form of child abuse that causes severe brain damage. It can result from as little as five seconds of shaking. Babies have soft brains and weak neck muscles. They also have delicate blood vessels. Shaking a baby or young child can cause their brain to repeatedly hit the inside of the skull.
- 5. DEFINITION Shaken Baby Syndrome (also known as Shaken Impact Syndrome) is a serious form of abuse inflicted upon a child. It usually occurs when a parent or other caregiver shakes a baby out of anger or frustration, often because the baby will not stop crying.
- 6. INCIDENCE These injuries can occur in children up to 5 years of age. The perpetrator is usually a caregiver or parent, with 65% to 90% being male. The National Center for Shaken Baby Syndrome estimates that each year between 1200 to 1400 children are injured or killed by abusive head injuries annually in the United States.
- 7. CAUSES Unrealistic expectations of babies. Young or single parenthood. Stress. Domestic violence. Alcohol or substance abuse.
- 8. CONT… Unstable family situations. Depression. A history of mistreatment as a child
- 9. PATHOPHYSIOLOGY Babies have weak neck muscles and often struggle to support their heavy heads. If a baby is forcefully shaken, his or her fragile brain moves back and forth inside the skull. This causes bruising, swelling and bleeding.
- 10. CLINICAL MANIFESTATION Altered level of consciousness Drowsiness accompanied by irritability Coma Convulsions or seizures Dilated pupils that do not respond to light Decreased appetite
- 11. CONT.. Vomiting Posture in which the head is bent back and the back arched Breathing problems and irregularities Abnormally slow and shallow respiration Cardiac arrest Death
- 12. DIAGNOSTIC EVALUATION Shaken baby syndrome can be hard to detect because often there aren't clear signs of abuse. CT scan MRI to look for bleeding or other injury in the brain. X-rays to check for broken bones
- 13. COMPLICATIONS Survivors of shaken baby syndrome may require lifelong medical care for conditions such as: Partial or total blindness Developmental delays, learning problems or behavior issues Intellectual disability Seizure disorders Cerebral palsy
- 14. PREVENTION The following tips may help prevent abuse: Take a deep breath and count to 10 Take time out and let the baby cry alone Call someone for emotional support Call a pediatrician – there may be a medical reason why the baby is crying
- 15. CONT.. Never leave a baby with a caregiver, friend or family member in whom there is not complete trust Always check references carefully before entrusting a baby to a caregiver or daycare center
- 16. PROGNOSIS Typically, surviving babies with this syndrome may develop any of the following disabilities: Cerebral palsy Paralysis Vision loss or blindness Mental retardation Epilepsy Seizures
