Shaken baby syndrome (SBS) is a form of child abuse that occurs when an abuser violently shakes an infant or small child, creating a whiplash-type motion that causes acceleration–deceleration injuries. Injuries from impacts with hard objects may accompany SBS; this combination of shaking with striking against a hard object is sometimes termed shaken impact syndrome or shaken/slam syndrome.
