Blindness, Cerebral atrophy (brain shrinkage), Holes in the brain, Water on the brain, Spastic quad riplegia (limbs are paralyzed except for spastic movements), and Death. Unfortunately, many cases of shaken baby syndrome are never known about because the perpetra tors never seek medical care or re veal their actions to anyone. Shaken baby syndrome is devas tating, but it is entirely preventable. Never, ever shake a baby. Always make sure anyone taking care of your baby knows not to shake him her.
