Abstract
We report an 11-month-old boy who brought with status epilepticus. The presence of bilateral retinal hemorrhages and generalized cerebral atrophy indicating ischemia revealed on imaging tests lead us to keep a differential diagnosis of shaken baby syndrome (SBS). On repeated questioning, mother gave the history of shaking by a relative which further supported our diagnosis. Thus in a child with a nonspecific febrile convulsive state, the treating physician should keep SBS also as a differential diagnosis. Key words: Abusive head trauma, Brain injuries, Craniocerebral trauma, Nervous system trauma, Shaken baby syndrome
