Abstract
The data suggest that any source of intense airway irritation not easily removed (laryngeal infection, inhalation of regurgitated feed, fluff, smoke etc.) could induce similar bleeding, a paroxysmal cough injury (PCI). Additional objective evidence of inflicted trauma is necessary to distinguish between 'shaken baby syndrome' and PCI.
