I am very concerned about my 7 year old son. He is a very healthy and active child and participates in numorous sports. Two months ago I noticed his eyes would occasionally rollup and to the side quickly during normal daily activities. It didn't seem to slow him down and he didn't even know it was happening. Recently it has become more frequent several times an hour. He did have a head injury this summer where he split open the front of his head about three inches long from his hair line back on the right side on the asphalt. He was hurdling over parking stops when he clipped his foot and landed right on his head. The hospital did a cat scan and said that he had a mild concusion,removed a small rock and stappled him up. The next day he was back on track showing off again. Could his symptoms be from the accident in July? Or something entirely different? It seems to bother me more than him because he doesn't realize when it happens. It just came on out of nowhere. Please help. -Pam Colo.Spgs.

I recommend taking him to the the doctor to discuss this. The doctor needs to do a neuro exam, and based on the findings, may choose to consult a pediatric neurologist.
