Zeljka Calic is a Neurologist based in Clinical Sciences Stream, Sydney, NSW, Australia.
Neurology is about the brain, nerves, and how the body controls movement and feeling. Zeljka works with people who have ongoing neurological symptoms, as well as those needing care after a sudden event.
Day to day, her work often includes conditions like migraine and stroke. She also looks after people dealing with vertigo and dizziness, including Meniere disease. At times, she helps with problems that affect speech, such as dysarthria, and with different types of encephalitis, including anti-NMDA receptor encephalitis.
She also supports patients with movement and muscle-related conditions. This can include myotonic dystrophy and myotonic dystrophy type 2, as well as paramyotonia congenita. Some cases involve other rare neurological conditions, like Brown syndrome and CACH syndrome, and she helps people understand what is going on and what can be done next.
For patients with circulation and blood-flow related issues, Zeljka may be involved in care where there is vasoconstriction. She also works with families affected by familial hypertriglyceridemia when it links to neurological health.
There are also times when urgent care matters. Zeljka’s neurology work includes thrombectomy, which is a treatment used in certain stroke situations. That means being ready to think quickly and carefully, while still taking the time to explain what the plan is in plain language.
She is in Sydney, and her clinic ties into the wider Clinical Sciences Stream in NSW. If you’re managing long-term symptoms, or you’ve had something happen more suddenly, the focus is on practical next steps and clear communication, so you’re not left guessing.
Research and clinical trials: information about publications and current trials isn’t listed here, so the best next step is to ask the clinic directly if you’re looking for anything specific in that area.
