Irina Vetter is a Neurologist working in Woolloongabba, QLD. Her practice is at 20 Cornwall St, Woolloongabba QLD 4102, Australia.
Neurology can cover a wide range of symptoms, from long-lasting pain to seizure disorders. Irina looks after people dealing with nerve pain and nervous system issues, including acute pain, neuralgia, and peripheral neuropathy. At times, this can feel like burning, stabbing, tingling, or numbness, and it can make everyday things harder.
She also helps with chronic pain where the nerves are part of the problem. Some conditions she sees include erythromelalgia, ganglion cysts, and other neurotoxicity syndromes. There are also times when people come in because of pain or nerve symptoms linked with broader health issues, including breast cancer.
Seizures and epilepsy are another big part of her work. This can include epilepsy in general, myoclonic epilepsy, and also conditions like Dravet syndrome. Irina understands that these conditions can affect sleep, mood, school, and family life, not just the seizures themselves.
For some patients, neurological symptoms are connected to other medical conditions. Irina works with people who have complex neuro-oncology needs as well, such as embryonal tumour with multilayered rosettes and neuroblastoma, and she may also be involved when someone has CACH syndrome. In each case, the focus is on getting clear answers, mapping out the likely causes, and helping with a practical plan for care.
New research and treatment options move fairly quickly in neurology. Irina stays current with what’s available so care can be based on the latest evidence and what fits the person in front of her. If there’s ever a reason to talk about clinical trials, that discussion would be handled carefully and only when it’s relevant to the situation.
