About of Marta A. Bayly

Marta A. Bayly is a Neurologist based in Adelaide, SA, Australia. She looks after people with long-term brain and nervous system conditions, with a big focus on seizure-related care.


For many patients, appointments involve epilepsy and related disorders. This can include epilepsy with myoclonic- atonic seizures, generalized tonic-clonic seizures, and other forms of epilepsy that show up in childhood and adulthood. At times, seizures can be part of a wider neurological condition, so care often needs to be steady and well planned.


Marta also works with families and patients dealing with rarer epilepsy syndromes. These can include Lennox-type patterns and specific genetic or childhood-onset epilepsy conditions such as Lafora disease, ADNFLE (autosomal dominant nocturnal frontal lobe epilepsy), and infant epilepsy with migrant focal crisis. Myoclonic epilepsy and myoclonic epilepsy patterns may also be part of the picture, along with sudden changes in movement or breathing during sleep in some cases.


Seizures aren’t the only concern. Marta’s neurology work can also involve drug induced dyskinesia, where medicines can affect movement. She may also help with symptoms linked to broader neurological problems, including conditions like Dentatorubral-Pallidoluysian Atrophy.


In some situations, care needs extra sensitivity. For example, SIDS (sudden infant death syndrome) comes up when families are trying to understand risks around infants. Neurology care in these moments is about clear information, calm follow-up, and making sure families feel supported.


Over time, treatment often means more than just a quick check-up. It can involve reviewing seizure patterns, thinking about triggers, and adjusting day-to-day management. Marta works with patients and carers to bring things into focus, and to keep plans realistic for everyday life in Adelaide and across South Australia.


If you’re trying to make sense of recurring seizures, a complex diagnosis, or movement changes that have come after medicines, Marta A. Bayly can be a helpful neurologist to involve. The goal is simple: practical care that fits your situation, with support that doesn’t feel rushed.
