[quote=Anonymous]Thanks for posting this. My 19 month old son did this a few times over the past week, and then suddenly started doing it several times a minute during dinner, as we changed him, and then bathed him last night. He has the classic paroxysmal tonic upgaze symptoms (sudden upward eye rolling with corresponding downward head movement and the appearance of squinting as he tries to cope with the sudden visual change). It was alarming to see it happen so much, although it doesn't seem to affect his personality or appear to be painful in any way. We took him to the doctor today and immediately received a CT scan which came back negative. He'll meet with a pediatric neurologist this week and also get an EEG. He's otherwise perfectly normal, talking like crazy and loving life. He's always been a little wobbly on his feet, so the neurologist will evaluate that, too. I'll try to report back here on how this progresses. Thanks for the comments, everyone. [/quote]
