Background:
Shaken baby syndrome is a common and devastating disease in infants. In spite of its frequency, many controversies persist, regarding the pathophysiology, diagnosis, and management.
Aim Of The Study:
We reviewed several salient and challenging issues related to SBS, like its pathogenesis, predisposing factors, differential diagnosis, and prevention programs.
Material And Methods:
We derive arguments from the literature and from our prospective registry of accidental and non-accidental traumas in infants.
Conclusions:
Much remains to be understood in SBS, and prevention programs for this entirely man-made disaster are still in their infancy. Pediatric neurosurgeons should be involved actively in the medical management and research on SBS.
