There were two objectives: first, to make the reader familiar with folk remedies that might be confused with child abuse; second, to challenge the idea existing in the literature that treatment for the Hispanic folk illness caida de mollera can cause the injuries seen in the shaken baby syndrome.
Literature review and analysis with case application were used.
A wide variety of folk remedies with potential for confusion with child abuse were found to exist, and were described. Treatment for caida de mollera was found to consist of a number of gentle, nonviolent maneuvers quite different from the violent shaking believed to cause shaken baby syndrome.
Familiarity with folk remedies will help differentiate them from child abuse. The child protection community would benefit from realizing that treatment for caida de mollera is an improbable cause of shaken baby syndrome injuries.
有两个目标：第一，让读者熟悉可能与虐待儿童相混淆的民间疗法；第二，质疑文献中存在的一种观点，即针对西班牙裔民间疾病“囟门陷落症”的治疗会导致摇晃婴儿综合征中所见的损伤。
采用文献综述和病例应用分析。
发现并描述了多种可能与虐待儿童相混淆的民间疗法。发现“囟门陷落症”的治疗包括一些温和、非暴力的手法，与被认为会导致摇晃婴儿综合征的暴力摇晃截然不同。
熟悉民间疗法将有助于将它们与虐待儿童区分开来。儿童保护界若能认识到“囟门陷落症”的治疗不太可能导致摇晃婴儿综合征损伤，将从中受益。
