What Causes A Slight Tilt Of The Head In A Child?
MY 10 YEAR OLD SON, SINCE HE WAS A BABY HAS ALWAYS TILTED HIS HEAD TO THE RIGHT-JUST A VERY SLIGHT TILT-RECENTLEY SOMEONE HAS POINTED OUT TO ME THIS MAY BE CAUSE OF A TUMOR?! HE DOES SOMETIMES HAVE HEADACHES OVER HIS EYES-AND HIS LEFT EYE IS LAZY-HE HAS NEVER HAD AN INJURY TO HIS HEAD-COULD A SLIGHT TILT OF THE HEAD BE SERIOUS?

Hello. I just read through your question.
Though not impossible, it is unlikely that his had tilt is due to a tumor. it is much more likely that it is due to the lazy eye. I recommend consulting with a good pediatric ophthalmologist so the lazy eye can be corrected. Then, in all likelihood, the head tilt will resolve.
