[Hospital management of the child victim of non-accidental head injury]

Abstract

The baby victim of a shock is not always diagnosed at the time of his first visit to the emergency room. The recommendation for good practice in situations of shaken baby syndrome, published in July 2017 by the French National Authority for Health, helps in the diagnosis and management of these infants by health care providers. When this diagnosis is made, the baby's care pathway is generally long and punctuated by multiple examinations.
