Alastair H. Maclennan is a Pediatric Neurologist working from 72 King William Road, North Adelaide, SA 5006. He looks after children and families across a range of nervous system and brain-related issues. Day to day, that can mean answering tough questions, helping with ongoing care plans, and supporting families through changes that happen as a child grows.
His focus includes conditions like cerebral palsy and spasticity, including spastic diplegia (infantile type) and other movement-related problems. He also sees children with epilepsy, including epilepsy in children, and helps manage concerns around seizures and related symptoms. At times, he helps families who are dealing with West syndrome and cortical dysplasia, where the brain’s development and electrical activity can affect growth and development.
There are also a number of broader neurological and growth related concerns he may be involved in, such as increased head circumference and in some cases hormone-related issues like menopause and hormone replacement therapy (HRT). He can also help with movement disorders, including drug induced dyskinesia. Other conditions that can come up include paraplegia and spastic paraplegia type 7, along with infant hearing loss and intrauterine growth restriction.
Over time, his clinical work has centred on understanding what’s going on, checking how symptoms are changing, and finding practical next steps. This sort of care often takes patience, because children don’t fit neatly into one pattern. Treatment can involve working through symptoms day by day, adjusting management as needed, and coordinating with other health professionals when it helps.
Details on education, research, and any clinical trials aren’t shown here, but the main thing is that care is built around the child and the family’s situation. If you’re looking for a pediatric neurologist in North Adelaide, Alastair H. Maclennan is based in a convenient city location and can support you with clear, grounded guidance along the way.
