We are happy to share as one of the first posts on this blog good news with our readers. As of this month, April 2013, the number of patients on which Dr. Royo Salvador and his team have performed the sectioning of the filum terminale surgery (SFT) has gone passed 700! Reaching this important figure encourages us to keep on pursueing our endeavours for the patients´ benefit on a daily basis.  

The Institut Chiari & Siringomielia & Escoliosis de Barcelona (ICSEB) is a highly specialised private centre that is concerned with offering advanced solutions on medical and neurosurgical level for brain and spine diseases. The Institut first comes into existence in Barcelona, Spain, in 2007, and is born out of the need of Miguel B. Royo Salvador, MD PhD, director and founder of the “Institut Neurologic de Barcelona”, for a space where he could dedicate himself to the three pathologies from that the centre takes its name: Arnold Chiari Syndrome I, Idiopathic Syringomyelia and Idiopathic Scoliosis.
