Abstract

Notes:

• The concept of shaken baby syndrome is still hypothetical.
• 2/3 of the cases had a history of abuse and neglect, and most other cases had fractures or other lesions related to abuse.
• In all cases in this study, shaking was clearly due to violent behavior within an abusive context.
