The Filum System ®: Innovation, Safety and Efficiency.


The surgery of the 21th century has changed radically the different concepts that had remained constant during the 20th century. Patients reject increasingly the paternalistic tone of the old-time professionals and demand more information regarding the attributes of the treatment they will receive and its surgical outcomes.

Change and innovation are gradually becoming established in the general opinion and are opening up a space for an increasingly determinant leadership from the surgeon.








This is where the Sectioning of the Filum Terminale, according to the Filum System ® method that is being put into practice with excellent results at the Instituto Chiari & Siringomielia & Escoliosis de Barcelona since a number of years, assumes greater significance.

Innovation: Being pioneers in the application of a unique technique, endorsed by scientific studies with the utmost academic distinction.

Safety: Optimizing the average surgery time (40 minutes). Being precise with the employed technique and anaesthetic guidelines.

Efficiency: Reducing hospital stays (one night), improving the pre- und post-operative guidelines, conducting meticulous follow-ups and favouring an adequate recovery.

This is why already more than 800 patients have placed their trust in us.

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.

The Filum Disease – Definition (2)

“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 .
