Shaken Baby Syndrome (SBS) usually occur from shaking or hitting the head of an infant or small child. The signs of shaken baby syndrome for a small child include retinal hemorrhage, fractures or soft tissue injuries and subdural hematoma. SBS occurs when an abuser violently shakes an infant to create whiplash that causes blindness, seizures, learning, physical disabilities and death. SBS usually goes together with smacking of the infant against a hard object, and in several cases, it is known as the shaken impact syndrome.
