Abstract

Shaken infant syndrome is commonly associated with injuries to the central nervous system. Non-accidental cerebral trauma has been implicated in 10 percent of children under age two with injury. Cranial vault fractures, subdural hematomas, localized parenchymal hemorrhages, diffuse axonal injury and spinal cord injury can be part of the shaken infant syndrome. This review will outline the neurosurgical aspects of the multidisciplinary team approach in cases of children with neurological sequelae from the shaken infant syndrome.
