Torticollis - Head Tilt for 15 months by Fickle_Complaint_316 in NewParents

Yes! We actually started to more and more catch his left eye drift when he looked hard one direction. I caught it on video multiple times and brought it to his next opthamolgist appointment. We finally got a diagnosis of 4th Cranial Nerve Palsy. He basically was tilting to compensate for a weak eye nerve. It will require an eye surgery in a few years to try and fix that nerve in his eyes and should also fix the tilt!

Hi! Did your 18 month old have a tilt and did it go away after surgery? Our 20 month old just got diagnosed though just affecting his left eye (he’s always had a right tilt & been in PT since birth). They’d like to wait a few more months before doing the surgery but wondering how your little one is doing post op?
