Abstract :

Infants who experience Shaken Baby Syndrome have their brains pushed up against their skulls as a result of very strong acceleration-deceleration forces. Hemorrhages in the subarachnoid, and retina are signs of the Shaken Baby Syndrome. The degree of mental and visual impairment is assessed using MRI and ocular exams, and axonal lesions are discovered using immunohistochemistry staining for the -amyloid precursor protein. Shaken Baby Syndrome is treated with surgeries like the Burr hole craniotomy and the Subdural hemorrhage (SDH) evacuation procedure, however the prognosis is frequently dismal. Shaken Baby Syndrome is a serious condition with traumatic and occasionally fatal repercussions, so it is crucial to inform new parents, nurses, and medical professionals about the condition in order to prevent instances.
Keywords:  Shaken Baby Syndrome infants retinal hemorrhage , subdural hemorrhage evacuation subdural hemorrhage subarachnoid hemorrhage.
