Syndrome du bébé secoué, apport des recommandations de la HAS sur le diagnostic et la prévention.

Non accidental head injury through shaking, the most common and severe AHT in children, is most often repeated. Therefore, for prevention purposes, the diagnosis should be made as soon as possible to avoid recurrence. Recommendations have been established following a rigorous scientific approach. They describe the diagnostic approach to be followed to eliminate differential diagnoses and objectify the lesions and define the diagnostic criteria to be applied at the end, based on objective data: the lesions and the history reported by the adult. The diagnosis is then ruled out, probable or certain. However, the considerable scientific advances on the subject are opposed by an unfounded denialist current, carried by a few, which must be denounced. Indeed, not identifying violence prevents any prevention at the expense of the child and his or her rights, but also of society. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
