Head tilt is a medical condition in which the head is abnormally tilted to one side. It can be caused by a variety of underlying issues, such as neck or brain injury, stroke, or an inner ear infection. Symptoms may include neck pain, dizziness, and difficulty moving the head. In some cases, the head tilt may be accompanied by an abnormal eye position, such as looking up or down. Over time, the head tilt may worsen and cause headaches, nausea, and balance problems. Treatment depends on the underlying cause, and can range from physical therapy to medications or surgery.
