Abstract
A SHAKEN BABY IS A POSSIBLE MORE COMMON PEDIATRIC CONDITION THAN IS NORMALLY DIAGNOSED. IT IS NOT SO IMPORTANT TO ESTABLISH THE DIAGNO SIS, BECAUSE ONCE THE BRAIN DISORDERS ARE FORMED, THEY ARE IRREVERSIBLE, AS WELL AS HIGHLIGHTING POSSIBLE ALARM SIGNS THAT WOULD HELP PREVENT THE SYNDROME. IN THIS SENSE, A SERIES OF QUESTIONNAIRES THAT C OULD ASSESS THE FA MILY'S PREDISPOSITION TO APPLY SOM E SUDDEN MOVEMENTS TO THE CHILD, WOULD PROVE TO BE LIFE SAVERS.
