Inflicted Brain Injury in Children

Physical violence against children causes injury to both their bodies and their emotions. In some cases, these physical injuries are severe and can lead to permanent damage or even death. Because the brains of infants and children are fragile, any physical violence or even rough play can cause inflicted traumatic brain injury (brain damage due to violence caused by another person). The August 6, 2003, issue of JAMA includes an article about inflicted brain injuries in children.

Shaken Baby Syndrome One kind of inflicted traumatic brain injury is called the shaken baby syndrome. Infants who are shaken may not have any immediate sign of harm, but their brains may have severe damage from bruising, swelling or internal bleeding. Brain injury is the leading cause of death in abused children.

Shaken baby syndrome is not usually a one-time event. Abuse of an infant or young child that causes this type of injury is often part of a pattern of abuse. Previous head injuries may be seen on special testing, such as a CT (computed tomography) scan or MRI (magnetic resonance image) of the brain.

Article continues below and (thank you)
 

Infants who have been shaken and are injured have a high mortality rate (chance of dying from the injury). Approximately 25 percent of shaken babies die from their traumatic brain injuries. The infants who do not die may have permanent, often severe damage to their vision, hearing, thinking and learning capabilities. They may be blind, have seizures, have spasticity (tension and weakness of the muscles), have small heads with lack of growth of brain tissues, and may be severely mentally retarded.

Possible Signs of Traumatic Brain Injury in Children

  • Unexplained sleepiness or inability to awaken the child
  • Changes in crawling, walking or speech patterns
  • Poor feeding or sucking
  • Irritability
  • Unexplained bruising or fractures in any part of the body
  • Coma
Preventing Inflicted Traumatic Brain Injury
  • Early recognition of possible child abuse
  • Parenting support through classes, public resources, health care personnel, and family members
  • Stress reduction for parents
  • Education about age-appropriate behavior and healthy child growth and development Careful evaluation of those outside the family who take care of children
Contact your doctor or a child-abuse hotline if you need help.
