Do Rolling And Twitching Of Eye Suggest Seizure?
Question: My son who is 2 years and 3 month old today moved his eye ball upwards for few seconds and the twitched eyes for few seconds. Before this he was irritated also. Immediately after this he started crying and after I consoled him, he was normal and started playing. What could this be? Is this also another form of seizure he has got? Please note that he is already being treated for infantile spasms where he suddenly drops his head downwards.
Brief Answer:
It appears an episode of seizure
Detailed Answer:
Hello XXXXXXX
I have gone through your question and understand your concerns.
Uprolling of eyeballs with twiching of eyes is surely seizure.
In patients with infantile spasm many types of seizure may be present simultaneously. You have to consult the treating doctor if episodes reoccurs more frequently. Increase in drug dosage may be required in such condition.
Hope you found the answer helpful.
