What Causes Bleeding Around The Brain?
My 31/2 month pre-mature daughter was recently taken to the hospital due to bleeding around her brain from her retinal cord connected to her left eye. Specialist say that this may be the result of shaken baby syndrome. Though my wife and I are the only gardians of our child at all times. i have two questions. Is it possible that this could be the result another kind, type, or way of abuse? Or could she have had very little bleeding when born and time built all of now?

Retinal bleeds may be present in normal full term and preterm baby. Its always not necessory a shaken baby. These bleeds improve with time. You should go for a complete hemogram and coagulation profile that everything is right.
