Would shaken Baby syndrome be a reason why a babies head is so big?
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.
Can a baby die immediately from shaken baby syndrome?
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.
Which is better shaken baby syndrome or abusing a baby?
Both are very bad, but I believe you are asking which is worse - shaking or striking a baby. Depending on the severity of a beating, the majority of infants and children survive abusive events (though abdominal injuries are particularly lethal). In shaking events, there is a 20-25% chance of death - much higher than striking.
How is Shaken baby syndrome healed?
Children with SBS may need physical therapy, speech therapy, vision therapy, and special education services
How do you start a conclusion paragraph on shaken baby syndrome?
Here is an appropriate conclusion for a (hopefully) well-researched paper on SBS: Since medical doctors have initially named the condition of Shaken Baby Syndrome, it has been commonly known that this diagnosis is a result of an abusive act. Though defense experts in SBS cases try to sway juries that shaking a baby or child is not harmful or does not cause death, history tells us differently. It is important to look at what perpetrators in shaking cases confess to investigators. Such statements will allow us to learn more in depth what happens to children who suffer from shaking-related tragedies. Bottom line - shaking is violent, it happens daily and causes permanent injury and death.
How does shaken baby syndrome affect the eyes?
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.
