Evidence From Proton Magnetic Resonance Spectroscopy for a Metabolic Cascade of Neuronal Damage in Shaken Baby Syndrome
Pediatrics 99:4-14, Haseler,L.J.,et al, 1997
See this aricle in Pubmed

Article Abstract
A strong impression is gained of MRS as a prognostic marker because infant A recovered although infants B and C remained in a state consistent with compromised neurological capacity.Loss of integrity of the proton MR spectrum appears to signal irreversible neurological damage and occurs at a time when clinical and neurological status gives no indication of long term outcome.These results suggest the value of sequential MRS in the management of SBS.
