head trauma symptoms at 3yrs Old Posted: 07-09-07 21:26pm
Hi!
My 3yrs old boy develloped weird symptoms
about 1 year ago. It all happened over a
weekend. He was starting to tilt his head
and look downwards all the time. We
brought him to emergency and doc said he
was fine.
After a few visits and a lot of
observation on our part. We realized that
his left eye will go up and the right eye
stays fixed when he looks up to the left.
It is a form of strabismus called brown
syndrome. Kids are usually born with the
however he wasn't.
The eye specialist said she will monitor
situation. Fast forward a year and
specialist says that he is tilting his
head more. I don't think he is but she
said she notices it more. He tilts his
head to adjust the way he is seeing. Anyo,
she thinks thought this warranted an mri.
What I am really worried about is that
recently he complains about head, cheek
and eye pain when he gets upset or cries.
I wonder why it only happens when he
starts to cry or get upset. I haven't even
had the opportunity to tell the specialist
about this yet. The mri was last weekend.
Ugghhh I am just worried sick. Besides
that, he is a very healthy boy.
Will they call you quickly if there is
anything wrong or showing on the mri
results?
Something else that is completely strange
is that I had trigeminal neuralgia. I had
surgery for it but it is so weird to hear
him say he has cheek pain. I know
trigeminal neuralgia is not hereditary.
Anyways thanks for listening and reading
my post.
