long term effect of compensations

[Guest guest]

Hi, I am new to this site as my 2 month old son, Braydon, was just

diagnosed with BPES today. They say he won't need surgery until he is

4 or 5, and that it's good that he's compensating by tilting his head

backwards to see better. I'm happy that he's able to compensate but

concerned that 4 or 5 years of holding his head tilted back will cause

other problems. Can anyone comment on this for me? And after having

surgery, would the backwards head tilting correct itself or would it

remain since it would be the only way he's ever held his head?

Thanks in advance!
