[The need to prevent Shaken Baby Syndrome].

Shaken Baby Syndrome, or non-accidental head injury, is a serious syndrome that can have fatal consequences for the baby. For a long time unknown to the general public and, moreover, difficult to diagnose, it requires the implementation of a comprehensive prevention programme in order to protect children and parents from this tragedy. After the awareness of professionals, it is now a question of relaying and disseminating the information as widely as possible.
