Abstract

Shaken Baby Syndrome (SBS) frequently occurs after shaking in response to crying attacks of infants is a situation of disappointment and anger for parents. Critical health problems such as intracranial and retinal bleeding, brain injury and death are the result of SBS (1).

Eighteen month-old-male infant was admitted with seizure. His neurologic examination and electroencephalography were normal. Cranial magnetic resonance imaging showed subdural hemorrhage. Ophthalmologic examination revealed retinal hemorrhages in bilateral eyes. The diagnosis of SBS was made with these findings. His mother admitted to shaking the infant by traditional behaviour when the infant developed seizure on the detailed interview.
