Geza Berecki is a Paediatric Neurologist based in Parkville, VIC 3052. He looks after children and young people who have ongoing brain and nerve-related conditions. Neurology can be scary for families, so the focus is usually on making sense of what’s happening and mapping out a practical plan.
His work commonly involves seizure disorders. That can include epilepsy in children, absence seizures, and other seizure types such as generalised tonic-clonic seizures, and myoclonic or myoclonic-atonic patterns. At times, children may also need help with situations like status epilepticus, where seizures don’t stop quickly and urgent treatment is important.
Over time, many families also seek support for developmental and movement concerns that sit alongside brain differences. This may include autism spectrum disorder, and conditions that affect how a child’s movements, tone, or milestones look as they grow. Some referrals involve rare childhood syndromes too, like West syndrome, Lafora disease, and dentatorubral-pallidoluysian atrophy. There can also be questions around spasmus nutans and other neurologic causes of unusual head or eye movements.
Premature birth and early medical challenges are another area that comes up. For some babies, problems like respiratory acidosis can connect to later nervous system concerns, and the pathway may include careful follow-up and monitoring. The goal is to keep care connected, especially when there are both medical and development needs.
In many cases, the process starts with a careful look at symptoms, triggers, and how the child is doing day to day. Then the care plan is built around what the child actually needs, whether that’s ongoing medicine support, safety advice for seizures, or coordination with other services. Families often want clear next steps and a team approach, not just one-off answers.
