Overview
The Shaken Baby Syndrome (SBS) refers to a group of symptoms encountered in children traumatized by (violent) shaking. They concern especially microtrauma in the brain tissue. The diagnosis is difficult, and the parents are often unaware of the fact of using shaking of the babies as a method of soothing in unceasing crying.
In contrast to the United Stated, the Czech Republic, together with the western European countries, does not have a sufficient number of data on the occurrence of SBS. It is therefore important to increase the awareness of this syndrome, to extend education and direct it also to the layman public.
Key words:
Shaken Baby Syndrome, unceasing child cry, preventive activities
