Bronwyn E. Grinton is a neurologist in Heidelberg, VIC. She works from 245 Burgundy St, Heidelberg, and helps people across a range of brain and nerve conditions.
A big part of her work is looking after epilepsy, especially when seizures start in childhood. This can include absence seizures, generalised tonic-clonic seizures, and partial seizures. She also sees families dealing with genetic causes of epilepsy, where seizures can come and go over time.
In many cases, the focus is on seizure types such as GEFS+ (Genetic Epilepsy with Febrile Seizures Plus) and Dravet syndrome. She also supports people with Benign Familial Neonatal Seizures, West syndrome, and juvenile absence epilepsy. When seizures are linked to fevers or begin very young, it can be a stressful time, and the goal is to make the plan feel clear and workable.
Bronwyn also provides care for rarer conditions that affect both movement and the nervous system. For example, familial paroxysmal nonkinesigenic dyskinesia can cause sudden episodes of abnormal movement, and she helps families understand what is happening and what to do during flare ups.
At times, her clinic includes people with neurodegenerative disorders, including Batten disease and CLN diseases (such as CLN1, CLN2, CLN3, CLN4, and CLN5). These conditions can affect day to day function, so care is usually about both safety and support, not just seizure control.
Other neurological issues she sees can include chorea, spasmus nutans, and epilepsy that shows up with different patterns of symptoms. Bronwyn works with patients and carers to sort out the likely diagnosis, talk through treatment options, and plan next steps based on how things are going.
