AMERICAN ACADEMY OF PEDIATRICS:
Shaken Baby Syndrome: Rotational Cranial Injuries---Technical Report

Committee on Child Abuse and Neglect

Shaken baby syndrome is a serious and clearly definable form of child abuse. It results from extreme rotational cranial acceleration induced by violent shaking or shaking/impact, which would be easily recognizable by others as dangerous. More resources should be devoted to prevention of this and other forms of child abuse.
