Lynne E. Bilston is a Neurosurgeon based at 18 High St, Kensington, NSW 2052, Australia. She looks after adults and children who have nervous system problems where treatment may involve surgery, follow-up scans, and close ongoing care.
In many cases, the conditions she sees are linked to how fluid moves around the brain and spinal cord, or how brain tissue sits in the skull. This can include Chiari malformations (including type 2), hydrocephalus, and blocked fluid pathways like obstruction at the aqueduct of Sylvius. At times, people also come with issues such as arachnoiditis or syringomyelia, where there’s irritation in the lining around the nerves or a fluid-filled cavity in the spinal cord.
Dr Bilston also treats people who need procedures to relieve pressure in the back of the skull, such as posterior fossa decompression. For some patients, surgery may be part of managing problems that develop after inflammation or infection, including meningitis-related complications. She may also be involved in planning and care around operations like laminectomy, depending on what the scans show and what symptoms are happening.
It’s not only about the brain and spine, either. The range of care listed for her includes things like arrhythmias and vasoconstriction, and some patients may also have obstructive sleep apnoea. These conditions can overlap in real life, and it often means coordinating care with other doctors so treatment fits the whole picture.
Dr Bilston has specialist training in neurosurgery and works with modern, practical treatment planning. Over time, she focuses on what matters most for each person—pain control, breathing and sleep safety when relevant, recovery, and making sure follow-up is clear and doable.
While research and clinical trial details are not provided here, she generally stays up to date with new approaches and better ways to assess symptoms, using imaging and check-ups to guide decisions.
