About of Shyan Vijayasekaran

Shyan Vijayasekaran is an otolaryngologist based in Perth, WA, Australia. They look after people with health issues that involve the ears, nose, throat, and upper airways.


In many cases, patients come in with common problems like ear infections and long-lasting ear fluid, often called otitis media with effusion or “glue ear”. Shyan also sees people with recurring throat infections and tonsillitis, and with trouble that affects breathing and noisy air, like stridor.


For kids in particular, there can be concerns around the airway, such as issues seen from birth. This can include conditions like laryngomalacia and tracheomalacia, plus narrowing in the voice box area (subglottic stenosis). There are also times when swallowing and the passage between the throat and food pipe need checking, including things like tracheoesophageal fistula and oesophageal atresia.


Voice problems are another big part of the work. Shyan treats spasmodic dysphonia, and they also help with situations that can affect the voice and breathing in the larynx. At times, this may involve tests or procedures to look inside the airway and voice box, including endoscopy and other scope-based checks.


Some appointments focus on ears and symptoms linked to the middle ear. This can include treatment planning around myringotomy, and other ear-related care such as management of inflammation of the ear cartilage. Over time, care may also include procedures like adenoidectomy when adenoids are causing ongoing blockage or recurring problems.


Shyan also cares for patients with rarer conditions. For example, this can include recurrent respiratory papillomatosis, and other syndromes where airway and breathing issues can show up. Premature infants may also be part of the patient group, especially when oxygen levels and airway stability are a concern.


Experience and education details aren’t listed here, and the page doesn’t include training history. Research and clinical trials information also isn’t shown. What is clear, though, is that the focus stays on practical ENT care—helping with day-to-day symptoms, checking what’s going on, and supporting treatment plans when things are more complex.
