ABSTRACT
Shaken Baby Syndrome may have life-long consequences, but it can be prevented. It is far too common and usually arises when the parent or caretaker gets angry, frustrated or impatient, but it can also be caused by inappropriate play. There are pathognomonic signs but suspicion must be high to suspect it. Physicians play an important role in diagnosis, management and most importantly, prevention.
