No. The type of shaking in an earthquake is not the same as the type needed to cause shaken baby syndrome.

Shaken baby syndrome is also known as abusive head trauma, shaken brain trauma, pediatric traumatic brain injury , whiplash shaken infant syndrome, and shaken impact syndrome.

Shaken baby syndrome was first described in medical literature in 1972

It is not shaking baby it is shaken baby.

"shaken baby syndrome" is when a baby is shaken in a violent motion that causes death or serious injury to the brain. Typically a child will have retinal bleeding, brain bleeding and brain swelling (which typically does the most damage).

The cause of the brain, neck, and spine damage that can result from shaken baby syndrome is brute force. The violent shaking of a baby by a much stronger adult conveys a tremendous amount of energy to the infant.

if your talking about babies,

its shaken baby syndrome. Its where someone shakes a baby and the baby dies.

Meningitis is caused by a bacteria or a virus.

Yes

Nearly 2,000 children die every year as a result of being shaken.

The prognosis for children with shaken baby syndrome is usually poor. Twenty percent of cases result in death within the first few days. If an infant survives, he or she will most often be left with intellectual and developmental disabilities.

Could be:

Sick Building Syndrome

Short Bowel Syndrome

Shaken Baby Syndrome

Straight Back Syndrome

Child abuse, and possibly negligent homicide.

Baby's effect on shaken baby syndrome (a syndrome a baby receives when a parent shakes their baby out of frustration, anger, or annoyance) can cause the baby awful brain damage that is very painful and stays with them their whole life, can cause the baby damage to their neck, and spinal cord, and if done excessively, can cause death to baby.

ICD-9 diagnosis code is 995.55

Evelynn Biondo, a shaken baby syndrome suvivor, is 3 years old.

No in the first place a baby's head is disproportionately large if looked at by adult standards. shaking a baby may cause brain damage however it wont make a baby's head bigger then it is supposed to be. There are conditions where baby's and children have much bigger heads then normal but these have nothing to do with shaken baby syndrome.

Yes. *sigh*

September Watson, a victim and survivor of shaken baby syndrome, is 11 years old.

You can't shake a baby because its brain did not fully develop yet nor the skull. If you shake the baby it will get Shaken Baby Syndrome which will lead to death.

You can't - so long as there are people capable of shaking a baby to stop it crying ! Not all cases are reported or investigated.

No cuz its not an infant

Children with SBS may need physical therapy, speech therapy, vision therapy, and special education services

Yes, it's possible to do to any living animal. Especially, it they are very young. You can do serious damage to the brain when a small animal or baby is shaken, it could possibly happen to yourself as well.

Physicians earlier labeled these injuries as accidental, but as more about child abuse became known, more cases of this syndrome were properly diagnosed

long term effects can be mental retardation or also can have cerebral palsy

I think you're a little confused. A baby born to a mother who did Meth in pregnancy is a drug-baby.

Shaken baby syndrome happens when someone physically shakes an innocent baby and it's brain actually is injured. Answer A baby born to a mother who smoked meth can have many defects. In fact the brain of the baby can be affected. However, the brain of the baby is not bruised and bleeding, it is usually a developemental defect of some sort. A baby that suffers from shaken baby syndrome often has a brain injury. The brain of this baby gets bruised and battered from hitting the inside of the skull. Sometimes the brain swells and bleeds causing further injury to the brain. Some one who is medically trained should be able to tell the difference between problems caused by meth and the problems caused by shaken baby syndrome

on the scall from 1-10 I would say 5%. if you have a baby in that condition than you have half a chance of him or her coming out normal.

McKynzee Goin, a worst-case shaken baby syndrome victim from Medford, Oregon, is 7 years old.

False. It's when a people shakes a baby too much out of anger, etc.

I don't think so. it can happen in babies before they are taken home from hospital. you can check the whole article here - http://articles.mercola.com/sites/vitalvotes/archive/2009/02/17/new-doubts-about-the-shaken-baby-theory.aspx

Shaken..as in picked up and shaken so that the head of the child is thrown to and fro causing the brain to slosh backwards and forwards inside the skull resulting in brain damage and in many cases death.

Yes, very easily. Shaking can cause diffuse axonal injury, which is a stretching of the thin, developing axonal nerves in the infant brain. This is identified at autopsy. Shaking incidents that lead to death cause brain hemmoraging and edema (swelling) and retinal hemorrhaging. This is similar to other sudden-acceleration/deceleration type injuries (such as car accidents), but no other condition is truly the same has Shaken Baby Syndrome.

In the 1960s, Shaken Baby syndrome was named after many children suffered from the apparent effects of being shaken by parents when they did something wrong. It inflicted head and neck injuries akin to whiplash. It leads to brain damage because the brain can be deprived of oxygen.

The eyes can also be damaged by the explosive energy of shaking. Retinal damage occur in 50-80% of cases. The damage can be so severe as to permanently blind an infant.

A shaken baby may present one or more signs, including vomiting; difficulty breathing, sucking, swallowing, or making sounds; seizures; and altered consciousness

it depends how hard you shake 'em

Diagnosis depends on the detection of a blood clot below the inner layer of the dura (a membrane that surrounds the brain), but external to the brain. The clot is also known as a subdural hematoma.

A contrecoup injury can be caused by a vehicle accident or shaken baby syndrome. A contrecoup injury is associated with cerebral contusions. Cerebral contusions are a type of traumatic brain injury where the brain becomes bruised.
