The Shaken Baby Syndrome (SBS) Chart / Poster is a valuable educational resource designed to raise awareness of the risks and consequences of violently shaking an infant. It is ideal for use in antenatal clinics, paediatric settings, and GP surgeries to support parental education and safeguard infant health.
This detailed chart illustrates how an infant’s brain is affected during violent shaking, with the brain impacting the front and back of the skull due to sudden neck flexion and extension. It explains common injuries including subdural haematoma, retinal haemorrhage, and diffuse axonal injury (DAI), as well as the potential short- and long-term symptoms—ranging from feeding issues and skin discolouration to seizures, coma, and even death.
Created by professional medical illustrators and exclusive to AnatomyStuff.com, the chart covers:
- Neck hyperflexion and hyperextension caused by shaking
- Subdural Haematoma
- Retinal Haemorrhage
- Diffuse Axonal Injury (DAI)
