N2  - In a baby aged 8 months the forensic post-mortem revealed injuries to the parasagittal pontine veins without visible evidence of traumatic violence. The mother later admitted to having grabbed the baby laterally by the chest and shaken it. This had resulted in an angular acceleration of the head about a transversal axis and, by the lag of the brain due to its inertia, in the fatal vascular lesions mentioned. The twin child admitted to hospital with comparable signs rapidly developed via an acute hygroma a generalized cerebral atrophy such as is actually to be expected in senescence only.<p /> <p>Language: de</p>
