Mark A. Corbett is a Pediatric Neurologist based in Adelaide, SA, Australia. He works with children and families who are dealing with brain, nerve, and nervous system issues, especially when they involve movement, development, or seizures.
In many cases, Mark helps kids manage epilepsy. That can include different seizure types, from absence seizures and generalised tonic-clonic seizures to more complex syndromes. He also looks after children with myoclonic epilepsy and myoclonic-atonic (also known as drop) seizures, and conditions such as Lennox-Gastaut syndrome (LGS). At times, families also come in with concerns about genetic or inherited forms of epilepsy, including GEFS+ and other familial patterns.
Mark also cares for children with cerebral palsy and related muscle control problems. This may include spasticity, spastic diplegia, and other types of movement and posture changes that affect how a child moves day to day. Alongside that, he treats a range of movement disorders, including drug-induced dyskinesia, where abnormal movements can happen after certain medicines.
Some referrals are for broader neurological and developmental needs. For example, he supports children who have developmental delay, hypotonia (low muscle tone), or problems that affect growth and head size. He may also see children with autism spectrum disorder, hearing difficulties, and other linked conditions that can sit alongside brain-related diagnoses.
There are also rare and complex genetic conditions that can involve the nervous system. Mark works through the neurological picture in syndromes like Aicardi syndrome, Angelman syndrome, and Borjeson-Forssman-Lehmann syndrome. He also helps families with diagnoses that affect brain structure and function, such as cortical dysplasia, polymicrogyria, porencephaly, and encephalocele.
In the clinic, the goal is usually clear and practical: getting the right diagnosis, explaining what it can mean for the child, and building a plan that fits the child’s needs. Mark supports families across Adelaide and nearby areas, helping them make sense of seizures, movement problems, and other ongoing neurological concerns.
If you’d like to know whether Mark is the right fit for a specific condition, it’s best to check with the practice and discuss the details of the child’s situation.
