Published by ICSEB at 12 June, 2023

We are excited to celebrate the 15^th anniversary of the Institut Chiari & Syringomyelia & Scoliosis de Barcelona (ICSEB). During these 15 years, we have dedicated our efforts to improve the health of individuals suffering from Arnold-Chiari I, idiopathic Syringomyelia and idiopathic Scoliosis and other diseases included in Filum Disease.

Since the foundation of the ICSEB in 2008, we have been pioneers in the diagnosis and treatment of these conditions. We have applied the protocols of the Filum System^® method in more than 3000 first consultations and more than 2100 interventions. Patients from 85 countries on five continents have been able to benefit from the sectioning of the filum terminale by means of a minimally invasive surgical technique, which makes it possible to halt the evolution of the pathology, eliminating its cause – the traction that a congenitally tense filum terminale exerts on the entire nervous system.

Each of the patients we have treated has left a deep impression on us. We have witnessed stories of overcoming, courage and hope. Each step along the way has taught us the importance of empathy, respect and holistic, patient-centred care.

We would especially like to thank our patients and their families for their trust in us. Our mission is to provide them with the best medical care and to support them on their way to a full and healthy life.

In addition, we would like to acknowledge the commitment and dedication of our medical team and our collaborators for making it possible for each patient to receive excellent care; from remote counselling, to diagnosis, treatment and long-term postoperative follow-up. Thanks to their experience, knowledge and vocation, we have achieved great results and have been able to make a difference in the lives of many people.

This anniversary and these results encourage us to look to the future with enthusiasm. We will continue to work at the forefront of medicine, driving research and improving the quality of life of our patients.

We invite everyone to join our celebration, sharing knowledge and raising awareness on filum disease and related conditions.

Thank you all for being part of this 15-year journey!
