Video Testimonial (Spanish) - Dr. Antonio Victoria, cardiologist.

We are grateful to Dr. Victoria for sharing his personal experience with two cases of Filum Disease in his family: his wife and his daughter.

If you do not understand Spanish, please visit our website for a summary of his explanations or this excerpt here below:

"My wife is a doctor. She was suffering from this issue and had the cord traction disease and as a result of the brilliant operation from Dr Royo, she has recovered completely. Her thoracic hernias were treated perfectly well and have never reappeared since then. Her spine, that showed scoliosis since childhood, recovered and is now perfectly aligned.

The case of my daughter was more complex, with totally mixed and unspecific symptoms and a clinical picture that could have fit perfectly into a functional pathology that would have condemned a girl of 22 years of age to be bedridden. Then, we thought of this syndrome. She underwent the operation and we witnessed that 8 hours after the surgery all her clinical symptoms had disappeared.

My message is that we doctors must think that this condition exists in nearly 20% of the population and the relationship in the development of the diseases like Arnold Chiari I, Syringomyelia and Scoliosis is a common process and can have a close relationship."
