eyes rolls to top of head

[CONCERNEDMOM65]

I have a 4 year old who rolls his eyes to the top left side of his head.  I noticed this a little over a year ago and first thought he was just tired, then a few months later while at day care he reportly had a seizure, what the day care provider said he was sleeping and started jerking movements lasting about 30 seconds, he was not sick and no fever.  He has been seen by his dr. also by a neurologist, has had a normal MRI, has had 3 EEG's, the first one abnormal a spike in  waves, then two normal ones.  He has not had any more "jerking" movement, but he does have epsiodes of rolling his eyes, he will go months without it then start with it again, He does not lose consciencesness, I have noticed his pupils seem larger and glasses looking prior to rolling then roll for only a split second but it very very repetive, with this last episode eyes roll occasionally to the right upper corner.  Last week when it started up it must of occured over 100 times. This also seems worse when he is tired. The neruologist is saying "lazy eyes" or "tics"; peds ms is thinking seizures. Any information would be helpful.

My daughter has had this eye-rolling "tic" for a few years and was diagnosed with Chiari Malformation & Tethered Cord Syndrome over a year ago.  Once her cord was untethered and the accompanying syrinx's collapsed, her eye-rolling has relaxed greatly, though not entirely.  I am a believer that the cranial pressure contributes to this so-called "tic".

My son started to have the same eye rolling symptoms that you have described. However, these started just after he became ill with a viral infection. I took him to the doctor who said that this is a voluntary movement which is nothing to worry about and is merely a way of relieveing tension in the forehead. (He had complained about having a headache for a couple of days).

I have since taken him to an optician, and have been informed that he is very long sighted and requires glasses for reading and writing. In addition, the optometrist stated that the eye rolling could be a way of relieving tension from eye strain. As he is in mainstream school and doing much more reading and writing, this would seem plausible.

I can say that he has not done the eye-rolling since 2 days ago. It is well worth having his eyesight checked out to eliminate this possibility.

Hello Dear,
A tic is a sudden, repetitive movement or sound that can be difficult to control. Tics that involve movements are called motor tics.Seizures are accompanied with loss of consciousness and here the symptoms  do not seem like seizures.There could be some other  neurological reason which has to be evaluated.
