Wasn't "shaken baby syndrome" brought to prominent public attention by one vocal doctor who did a lot of testifying and talking to newspapers? In the late 80's or early-mid 90's? I think it arose around the same time as the (later shown utterly false) widely reported accusations of abuse against some day care workers (the children's interviewers did the leading type of interviews and the children agreed with what the adults wanted them to say).
