Question
A parent’s child is about to turn 11 months old and has noticed the child’s eyes moving from side to side and their head also swinging. The parent is worried about this situation and wants to understand the possible cause.
Answer
This behavior in the child may be indicative of nystagmus, and it cannot be ruled out that there could be a possibility of infantile spasms. It is recommended to conduct an EEG (Electroencephalogram) for the child to rule out a diagnosis of infantile spasms. At the same time, it is also advisable to consult with an ophthalmologist for a joint examination to confirm the cause or etiology of the eye swinging.
