Wendyl J. D'souza is a Neurologist who works at St Vincent's Hospital Melbourne in Fitzroy, VIC. Neurology can feel pretty big and confusing at first. Many people see a neurologist when they’re trying to get answers after unusual spells, ongoing symptoms, or a diagnosis that needs careful follow up.
In day-to-day care, Wendyl looks after people with epilepsy and different seizure types. This can include absence seizures, generalised tonic-clonic seizures, juvenile myoclonic epilepsy, and other childhood and teenage epilepsy syndromes. At times, seizures can come with things like status epilepticus, and there are also cases linked to anti-NMDA receptor encephalitis. She also supports people dealing with patterns that may be connected to hyperventilation, benign rolandic epilepsy, and Lennox-Gastaut syndrome (LGS).
There’s more to neurology than seizures, though. Wendyl also works with people who have encephalitis and other brain conditions. Some referrals involve movement and nerve issues, including primary lateral sclerosis. You might also see her name in connection with Hashimoto thyroiditis, and with situations where conversion disorder can look similar to neurological episodes.
Wendyl’s profile here doesn’t list specific details like her degree, training history, or years of experience. It also doesn’t show any named publications or clinical trials. What is clear is the focus on practical diagnosis and ongoing management, especially for epilepsy in children and adults. Over time, that kind of care often helps families and individuals feel more in control, because the plan is built around what’s happening in real life, not just what the symptoms look like on paper.
