Shaken Baby Syndrome: Rotational Cranial InjuriesTechnical Report

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.
