Katarina Ostojic is a Pediatric Neurologist based in Sydney, NSW, Australia. She looks after children and young people with brain and nervous system conditions that affect movement, muscle tone, and daily comfort.
In her clinic, she often supports families dealing with cerebral palsy and spastic diplegia (infantile type). These can make walking, balance, and fine movement harder, and it can be a lot to manage day to day. Katarina also helps with spasticity, which is tightness in the muscles. Over time, this can affect posture, sleep, and overall wellbeing, so she focuses on practical care that fits around a child’s routine.
Movement problems are another big part of the work. That includes movement disorders and things like drug induced dyskinesia. In many cases, the goal is to reduce unwanted movements while keeping treatment safe and consistent. She understands that medication changes can be stressful, and she takes things step by step.
Chronic pain can also come up with neurological conditions. At times, pain is hard to explain, and it may change from day to day. Katarina helps families look at what seems to trigger discomfort and what might help. The plan is usually about improving comfort and function, not just chasing a single symptom.
When it comes to experience, Katarina works with children who have complex movement and neurological needs. She has a steady, calm approach for appointments where families may have a lot of questions. Her care is built around listening, watching how a child moves, and adjusting the next steps as things change.
Her education and training are centred on paediatric neurology, with a clear focus on how the brain and nervous system affect movement in children. She also keeps up with current treatment ideas in this space, especially for conditions involving spasticity and movement disorders.
There isn’t specific information listed here about clinical trials. But she can still talk through standard options and what they might mean for a child in the real world.
Katarina is in Sydney, and she works with families across the area who are looking for support and a clear, practical plan for their child’s neurological health.
