Ahmed A. Moustafa is a neurologist in Sydney, working out of 48 Martin Pl, Sydney, NSW 2000, Australia. Neurology is about how the brain, nerves and muscles work together, so the care here often covers both long-term conditions and problems that started after an injury or a health change.
In many cases, Ahmed helps people dealing with memory and thinking issues, like Alzheimer’s disease, dementia and memory loss. At times, people are also seen for movement problems, including Parkinson’s disease and other movement disorders. There can be a lot of worry around these symptoms, and the aim is to keep things practical—what’s going on, what can be done, and what to watch for next.
Ahmed also looks after people with conditions that affect mood, behaviour, and day-to-day functioning, including major depression, bipolar disorder, schizophrenia, anxiety disorders and PTSD. For some families, there are ongoing needs in childhood and young adulthood, such as ADHD, autism spectrum disorder, and developmental dysphasia.
Neurological care isn’t only for brain and movement. Ahmed’s work also includes people with changes caused by injuries, such as traumatic brain injury. There are also cases linked to medication side effects, including drug induced dyskinesia. And for some patients, deeper treatment options may be discussed, including deep brain stimulation.
Some appointments may focus on genetic and other rare conditions too. This includes things like 15q11.2 microdeletion, albinism (including oculocutaneous albinism types 1 and 2), and Hermansky-Pudlak syndrome. There are also neurological-related care needs connected with malabsorption and malnutrition, and in some situations, issues like postpartum depression.
At times, the clinical picture can be more complex, such as attention and development challenges alongside other health concerns. Examples in the service area include childhood volvulus and outcomes linked to follical Thyroid Cancer, alongside neurological symptoms.
