Shaken Baby Syndrome Symptoms
10. Coma
Damage to the brain can lead to electrical signals becoming confused. This can, in turn, mean that confusing messages are sent to the rest of the body and this can lead to seizures. Seizures are a sure sign that your baby is in need of emergency medical assistance and you should call an ambulance right away. Shaken baby syndrome even has the potential to send your baby into a coma.
The seriousness of this condition cannot be understated and if you find your baby unresponsive then you should seek emergency assistance immediately. It may be possible for the baby to recover at this point but only if they get the help that they need.
