Fabienne Brilot is a neurologist based in Sydney, NSW, Australia. Her work focuses on problems with the brain, spinal cord, nerves, and how they can be affected by the immune system. Neurology can be confusing and scary, especially when symptoms change quickly, so she aims to keep things clear and practical.
Fabienne looks after people with conditions such as multiple sclerosis (MS), optic neuritis, transverse myelitis, neuromyelitis optica, and myelin oligodendrocyte glycoprotein (MOG) antibody-associated disease. At times, she also helps with autoimmune brain or nerve issues like anti-NMDA receptor encephalitis and CACH syndrome. These can show up in different ways, including vision problems, trouble moving, weakness, or changes in thinking and behaviour.
She also treats seizure disorders, including absence seizures and generalised tonic-clonic seizures, along with encephalitis. Movement and symptom control can be part of care too. That includes things like chorea, dysarthria (speech changes), drug-induced dyskinesia, and a range of movement disorders. There are also some mental and behavioural symptoms that can connect to neurological disease, such as obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD) and severe childhood neuropsychiatric issues linked to infections.
Because the list of conditions she manages includes both adult and paediatric presentations, her appointments are often about figuring out what’s going on and what the next steps should be. In many cases, that means taking symptoms seriously early, especially with sudden neurological changes like encephalitis, severe headaches with other symptoms, or new seizure activity.
In terms of experience and education, the details are set out in her profile, and she continues to keep up with new knowledge that matters for immune-related brain and nerve conditions. Research is relevant for this area of neurology, where treatment choices can change as evidence improves.
Clinical trials are not listed here, so if you’re interested in that angle, it’s best to talk with the clinic about what might be available locally. Fabienne Brilot’s goal is steady care, with a focus on understanding your symptoms, making sense of results, and supporting safe, informed treatment decisions.
