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.
Hi there, I am concerned about my 20 month little girl. She has had swollen temples for months now and don t know if it s just fat pouches or something more? They seem to be gradually getting bigger and sit just below the temples. Also for quite some time the tops of her eyes are puffer and sometimes look as if a little bruised. She has a condition that is similar to hydro nephrons. Her situation is a little different as they can not find any obstruction or tightening of tubes or kidney issues etc... But kidneys and tubes remain swollen. Could the face swelling be connected. Los she had a slightly lazy eye when little and remained ever so slightly now. When she was smaller she went through a whole heap of changes that scared me many times she had wired head twitches that continued for months. Tilted head to one side and still des that occasionally. Her ears Keats bothered her and till this day seem too. She will get my finger and push it in her ears as if to say its hurting or bothering me. Another thing that is unusual with her eyes is that you have the coloured part of eye and then the white, with hers you have the coloured part, then a really intensified solid white, then a section of grayish white. I personally always thought there was something wrong with her eyes and ears and all docs have said nothing wrong. My gut Keri s telling me there is something and I don t wantvt find out later that I could have done so etching about it had it been diagnosed! I m going out of my mind with all these things kidneys being the more serious thing but I have horrible thought of brain rumors etc... She had very bad plagiocephaly when she was younger but slowly got corrected. This affected the face just a little and wonder could that have done something on the inside to disturb the ear canals etc or eyes tat she has puffiness with what looks like bruising in the end corners and in.
hi,iam trying to put things together for you.Lets start with the plagiocephaly ,thats a big word ,but it means face is asymetrical and all symptoms that you decribe of head tilt and lazy eye and ear infections all point to a condition described as ocular plagiocephaly with torticollis .They have the head tilted to one side and the nose canals are not equal. Her kidneys with hydronephrosis ,can very well cause face swelling .if the water from the body is not passed out .She needs evaluation by three specialists nephrologist,ENT and plastic surgeon and ophthalmologist .Finally it may be part of a syndrome . Best of luck
