Abstract

Nonaccidental head injury (NAHI), the shaking impact syndrome, is most commonly seen among children under 3 years of age, with the majority occurring during the first year [1, 2]. Because of anatomic and developmental differences in the brain and skull of young children, the mechanisms and types of brain injury are distinctly different from that seen in older children and adults [3-5].
