Worried Sick About My 3yrs Old.. Any Advice Would Be Helpful Posted: 07-09-07 20:48pm
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.

Oh my god... I swear I saw a program about
this on discovery health or something like
that. I'm sorry I'm not much help... But
the boy's symptoms sound identical!

I know you posted like years ago but I
just read his symptoms and then read
Tylanas post and saw the saw show and was
thinking the same thing. There was a show
on some boy that had identicle symptoms
and I cant remember what he had but if you
have not found a diagnosis look for the
transcript on the program from discovery
health channel and you will know what we
mean

I dont know if you have found an answer
but the show said the boy with the same
symtoms had a problem with the tendens in
his eye. he had to have sergury and he was
fine. but I would also look in to problems
with torticals in his neck.
Im sorry about my spelling good luck and I
wish you the best.
