CASE STUDY: NOAH Noah is a 3-month-old infant diagnosed with Shaken Baby Syndrome. When his parents arrived with him to the Emergency Room, they stated that he wasn’t acting right when they picked him up from daycare. He was crying profusely and nothing his mom did would help to soothe him. The daycare provider, Miss Marlene, stated that Noah had fallen off of the bed. The doctors explained to Noah’s parents that the bruising on his body and damage to his brain indicates he was shaken. According to scans, the trauma from being shaken resulted in diffuse brain swelling. He now exhibits spastic tone in bilateral upper extremities. He also has a Cortical Vision Impairment (CVI) due to the damage in the brain and has had intermittent seizures since the incident. You received orders to evaluate and treat once Noah has stabilized and return home 8 weeks later. He is now 5 months old.
