Abstract:
In fatal courses of shaken baby syndrome (SBS, non-accidental head injury, NAHI) findings that confirm the classical signs of this special form of violence must be collected during the autopsy and the subsequent histological investigations. This is particularly important for all victims of shaking trauma where clinical diagnostics could no longer be carried out during life. Even in cases where there was a known antemortem suspicion of shaken baby syndrome with typical autopsy findings, such as subdural hematoma and retinal hemorrhage, also occasionally with paravertebral rib fractures and subcutaneous bleeding (thorax, upper limbs), evidence needs to be collected during an autopsy. If the child initially survives the shaking trauma, questions on the age determination of injuries can be relevant.
