Pediatrician,  's  Response
Hello. I just read through your question.
Though not impossible, it is unlikely that his had tilt is due to a tumor. it is much more likely that it is due to the lazy eye. I recommend consulting with a good pediatric ophthalmologist so the lazy eye can be corrected. Then, in all likelihood, the head tilt will resolve.
