Catherine M. Mcmahon is a Neurologist based in 16 University Avenue, NSW 2109, Australia.
In day-to-day practice, Catherine looks after people with ongoing brain, nerve, and head health concerns. Sometimes these problems start after an injury. Other times they show up slowly, and it can take a while to get the right answers.
Many patients come in with headaches, including headaches that feel new, stronger, or harder to manage. Some also need help with dizziness and pressure-type symptoms, where conditions like pseudotumor cerebri can be part of the picture. At times, the nerves in and around the head are affected by fluid build-up issues, such as hydrocephalus and increased intracranial pressure.
Seizures are another common reason people see a neurologist. This may include absence seizures, generalised tonic-clonic seizures, or other seizure concerns that are affecting sleep, schooling, work, or day-to-day safety. Catherine also supports people dealing with concussion and traumatic brain injury, especially when symptoms like ongoing headaches, balance issues, or memory troubles keep lingering.
Some appointments focus on scans and follow-up for brain blood vessel conditions, including arteriovenous malformation (AVM). There are also cases after bleeding in the brain, such as subdural haematoma. In hospital settings, care may connect with procedures like craniectomy, depending on the situation.
Hearing and ear-related problems can be part of care too. This includes tinnitus, hearing loss, and infant hearing loss. Occupational hearing loss and issues linked with infections or other health conditions also come up. For example, people with histories like otitis, rubella, or HIV/AIDS may need help sorting out how these can affect hearing and other related symptoms.
There can be times when health feels bigger than one diagnosis. Symptoms like postpartum depression can also be part of what a person is managing at the same time as neurological concerns, and Catherine’s approach is about looking at the full picture and keeping things practical.
Overall, Catherine helps patients understand what’s going on, what to watch for, and what next steps might look like, so care stays clear and steady from appointment to appointment.
