Shaken Baby Syndrome Symptoms
9. Paralysis
As mentioned before, our body parts are controlled by signals that come from the brain. This is sometimes done involuntarily, while it can also be done consciously. Either way, if there was something wrong with the brain, then it would struggle to be able to send these messages. If the damage is severe enough then it might mean that the patient is unable to move certain parts of their body at all.
This paralysis might be in specific parts of the body, but it can also leave the patient effectively immobile. If you do notice that your baby seems unable to move part of their body then you should treat it as an emergency because something could be very wrong.
