Sarah J. Mcintyre is a Paediatric Neurologist based in Sydney, NSW, Australia. She works with children and families when the brain, nerves, muscles, or movement patterns are affected from birth or early childhood.
Her clinic care covers a range of ongoing and complex conditions. This includes cerebral palsy and spastic diplegia (infantile type). It can also include problems that show up after early health events, such as asphyxia neonatorum, premature infant issues, and complications linked to congenital cytomegalovirus infection. In many cases, she helps kids who have stiffness or movement difficulties like spasticity, hemiplegia, alternating hemiplegia of childhood, and other movement disorders.
Seizures are another big part of her work. She looks after children with epilepsy and seizure types such as absence seizures and generalised tonic-clonic seizures. She also supports families where seizures sit alongside other brain conditions, for example cortical dysplasia. Even when the picture is complicated, the goal is usually the same: calm things down, make symptoms easier to manage, and work out what fits best for each child.
At times, children she sees have extra health challenges that go with the neurological side of things. These can include microcephaly and related syndromes, feeding and gut issues like achalasia, and growth or nutrition concerns such as malnutrition and intrauterine growth restriction. There are also cases involving metabolic acidosis or other early-life complications.
Sarah’s practice details also mention rhizotomy, which is a procedure used for some children with severe spasticity. That tells you her approach isn’t only about medicines. It can also include working with the wider care team to support movement and comfort, depending on what helps most for the child.
Experience: the focus areas listed above show long-term experience caring for children with cerebral palsy, spasticity and seizure disorders, as well as several related conditions that can start in pregnancy or the early newborn period.
