Shaken baby syndrome (SBS) is a triad of medical findings: subdural hematoma retinal hemorrhage and cerebral edema from which some physicians consistent with current medical understanding infer child abuse caused by intentional shaking. In a majority of cases there is no visible sign of external trauma.SBS is often fatal and can cause severe brain damage resulting in lifelong disability. Estimated death rates (mortality) among infants with SBS range from 15% to 38%; the median is 20%–25%.
