“…It stated there was a "history of infantile dysphagic choking as consistently provided by the caretaker." 4 It also stated that the father called 911 before taking the child to a neighbor's home. In fact, while the father mentioned choking to providers at the hospital, he did not do so in his extended interview with police.…”

Background: Controversy about the existence of shaken baby syndrome persists. This diagnosis was once routinely accepted in the infant who presents with the triad -unexplained subdural hematoma, retinal hemorrhages, and neurologic dysfunction. However, a critical examination of the relevant biomechanical, biologic, and clinical findings in the infant with the triad now suggests shaken baby syndrome may not exist, and medical mimics of this entity may have been missed. Methods:The author performed a Hill's analysis of causation using 9 criteria typically evaluated in such an assessment using a Google Scholar search of the medical literature for relevant information on shaken baby syndrome.Results: None of the 9 criteria were fulfilled in the analysis. Conclusion:Using a well-accepted analysis for evaluating whether a specific event (shaking) leads to a specific outcome (the triad), there was no compelling evidence that shaking causes the triad.
