About of Kerrie L. Mcdonald

Kerrie L. Mcdonald is a neurologist based in Sydney, NSW 2040, Australia. Neurology is all about the brain, spinal cord and nerves, and how they affect day-to-day health. People often see a neurologist when symptoms don’t fit neatly in other areas, or when ongoing issues need careful checks over time.


In her work, Kerrie looks after patients dealing with brain tumours and related conditions. This can include glioblastoma, astrocytoma and other glioma types. Some people are also managing brain tumour diagnoses where cancer has spread to the brain, along with tumours like metastatic brain tumour. There are also less common tumour types such as ependymoma and oligo d glioma, and conditions like gliomatosis cerebri.


Along with tumour care, she also treats seizure-related problems. That can include absence seizures and generalised tonic-clonic seizures. At times, seizures can be linked to the brain conditions above, but they can also happen on their own, and symptoms can vary from person to person. Seizure care usually means looking at what happened, what might be triggering it, and making a plan that suits the patient’s routine and safety needs.


Some referrals also involve dehydration and general health changes that can affect the nervous system. Even when the cause is not always clear straight away, neurologists help sort out what’s going on, what needs urgent attention, and what can be followed up step by step.
