We are very pleased and grateful to be able to share Mireille's story today; the video was recorded in February 2018. The patient was diagnosed with Neuro-Cranio-Vertebral Syndrome. Filum Disease. Descent of the Cerebellar Tonsils (Arnold-Chiari Syndrome Type I). Idiopathic Syringomyelia and Multiple Disc Disease and underwent the surgical procedure at the Institut Chiari & Siringomielia & Escoliosis de Barcelona (ICSEB) in October 2016. 




"Good Morning!
My name is Mireille, I was diagnosed with Arnold-Chiari Syndrome Type I and Syringomyelia three years ago. I was operated in the Institut Chiari de Barcelona in October 2016.

Before the surgery, I could hardly walk or move, it was impossible for me to bend down. I had insomnia, tinnitus and migraines accompanied by vomiting. After the surgery, when I woke up I was able to bend down and get up on my own. Since then, it has been a year of happiness. I have been able to take up again all of my body’s functions. I have been able to return to work and live like any normal person.
I am very grateful to Dr. Royo and Dr. Fiallos who operated on me. Here am I today for the check-up after one year of the surgery. Everything is going well, I have recovered all my strength. I thank the Institut Chiari de Barcelona for this surgery. It has saved my life.
Thank you."

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 .
