“The Neuro-Cranio-Vertebral Syndrome caused by a congenital anomaly of an apparently normal Filum terminale, which however exerts a traction on the spinal cord and the entire nervous system”
We consider the
“Filum Disease” to be the condition that is caused by an anomalous traction exerted
by the filum terminale ligament on the spinal cord.
It finds its
expression in form of different diseases which previously in medical history
have been described as being independent from each other: the Arnold Chiari I Syndrome, Idiopathic Syringomyelia and Idiopathic Scoliosis, Platybasia, Basilar Invagination, Retroflexed
Odontoid, Kinking of the brain stem and nocturnal Enuresis.
