Hi,I am Dr. Santosh Kondekar (Pediatrician). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
What Causes Mal- Shape Of Head With One Ear Off The Head And Has Droopy Eye?
My grandson is almost 11 months old and still weighs only 12 lbs. He looks like he s about 5 months old. His parents have taken him to numerous doctors. His head is mal-shaped??? one ear is approx. 1 inch off...the right side of his head shifts down and forward. He has a droopy eye on his right side. I fear that because they have a State Ins. (Medi-Cal) or something like that...that he is NOT getting the attention he needs in regards to this matter. It s been months and he is now in line to see a geneticist. They are talking about MRI s a helmet etc. but everything is taking months to get approved. Have you ever heard of this before? He is alert and responds to everything. His hearing is ok...his eyes are ok...
