Elizabeth E. Palmer is a Pediatric Neurologist based in High Street, Randwick, NSW, Australia.
She works with babies, kids and young people who have brain and nerve conditions. In many cases, families come in because seizures are happening, or they’re trying to figure out what’s causing ongoing symptoms.
A big part of her work is looking after childhood epilepsy. This can include absence seizures, generalised tonic-clonic seizures, Lennox-Gastaut syndrome (LGS), West syndrome, and other seizure types. She also supports children where the issue may be linked to complex brain changes, like cortical dysplasia, polymicrogyria, or bilateral perisylvian polymicrogyria.
Alongside epilepsy, she also helps with other neurological problems. That might include movement disorders, drug-induced dyskinesia, and conditions that affect balance and coordination such as acute cerebellar ataxia and spinocerebellar ataxia type 29. At times, families are managing changes in muscle tone (like hypotonia) or difficulties that show up as kids grow.
Some appointments are about neurodevelopment too. For example, she works with children who have ADHD or autism spectrum disorder, especially when symptoms overlap with neurological concerns. There are also rare conditions in her care, including syndromes such as Zellweger syndrome, Wolman disease, Fragile X syndrome, and Goldenhar disease. She may also assess movement and visual related issues like spasmus nutans, depending on the child’s needs.
Over time, her experience includes caring for children with seizure disorders and movement-related conditions, from early signs through ongoing management. She has training in paediatric neurology, with education in the foundations needed to assess and support young patients with neurological conditions. Research details and specific clinical trial involvement aren’t listed here.
