Spec. MD. Sevinj Isazade

A 72-year-old retired carpet weaver from Sheki arrived with progressive loss of fine motor control in her hands, initially attributed to arthritis. Dr. Isazade identified a rare form of focal cortical myoclonus originating from the sensory cortex, exacerbated by decades of repetitive motions. She pioneered a combined approach of targeted botulinum toxin injections and sensory retraining therapy using textured fabrics, resulting in 70% functional improvement over six months.

A 41-year-old international freight ship captain presented with episodic disorientation and complex visual hallucinations exclusively during night watches in the Indian Ocean. Dr. Isazade diagnosed 'circadian disruption-induced peduncular hallucinosis' linked to irregular melatonin secretion patterns. Treatment involved precisely timed bright light therapy during port stops and a novel melatonin agonist regimen, completely resolving symptoms after three voyage cycles.

A 19-year-old conservatory student specializing in tar performance developed sudden-onset musical anhedonia and time perception distortion following a mild concussion. Dr. Isazade identified damage to the right superior temporal gyrus affecting auditory-emotional processing. She developed a neuroplasticity-based rehabilitation program using progressive exposure to microtonal scales and rhythmic complexity, restoring musical enjoyment after eight months of therapy.

A 58-year-old former Soviet-era factory worker from Sumqayit presented with progressive asymmetric weakness initially diagnosed as ALS. Dr. Isazade recognized a rare immune-mediated neuromyotonia mimicking motor neuron disease. Treatment with intravenous immunoglobulin and rituximab led to dramatic improvement, with the patient regaining independent walking ability after nine months, a case later published in a European neurology journal.

A 28-year-old competitive freediver from Baku presented with recurrent episodes of transient global amnesia following deep dives. Dr. Isazade discovered an unusual pattern of cortical spreading depression triggered by rapid pressure changes, not previously documented in athletic medicine. Treatment involved a tailored regimen of magnesium L-threonate and a modified dive protocol with gradual decompression pauses, allowing the patient to return to competition within four months with monitoring.
