This medical work examines the phenomenon of infant brain trauma resulting from shaking injuries, commonly known as shaken baby syndrome. Written by Dominique Renier, the book provides comprehensive analysis of the clinical manifestations, diagnostic approaches, and medical implications of this serious form of child abuse. The text addresses the physiological effects of violent shaking on infants, including the mechanisms of brain injury, retinal damage, and associated symptoms. Intended for medical professionals, researchers, and caregivers, this volume contributes to understanding the recognition and prevention of abusive head trauma in pediatric populations. Published by Karthala in 2001, the work serves as a reference for healthcare providers dealing with suspected cases of infant maltreatment and offers insights into the intersection of pediatric medicine and child protection.
