About of Aaron De Souza

Aaron De Souza is a Neurologist based in Launceston, Tasmania, practising at 274-280 Charles Street, Launceston, TAS 7250. He looks after people with a wide range of brain, nerve, and muscle conditions, from sudden problems like stroke to longer-term issues like ongoing seizure management and movement disorders.


In many cases, his patients need help after new symptoms start, or after tests show changes in the nervous system. That can include seizure types such as absence seizures and generalised tonic-clonic seizures, or conditions that affect movement, including Parkinson’s disease and progressive supranuclear palsy. At times, he also supports people with movement problems linked to drug effects or other nerve signals going wrong.


Aaron also works with people who have nerve and muscle weakness or trouble with nerve signals. This can cover things like Guillain-Barré syndrome, chronic inflammatory demyelinating polyneuropathy, and chronic polyradiculoneuritis. Some people are dealing with single nerve issues too, such as radial nerve dysfunction, or broader nerve problems like myasthenia gravis. Muscle-related conditions such as myositis and rhabdomyolysis can also be part of his work.


There are other neurological problems he may see as well, including brain blood vessel issues like arteriovenous malformation and vein of Galen aneurysm, and pressure or fluid problems such as hydrocephalus. Some patients need care for eye and face nerve signs too, like Horner syndrome, while others may come in with unusual movement or breathing symptoms connected to neurotoxicity syndromes or neuro-muscle coordination problems.


He has experience managing both common and less common neurological conditions, and he understands that symptoms can be scary and hard to explain. Getting the diagnosis right is often the main step, especially when symptoms overlap or move around over time.
