Testimony:

On the tenth day after her surgery, Endzhe tells us her story. She had felt improvements in her way of walking already on the afternoon after the surgery. It had been difficult for her to walk well all her life: her legs were heavy and stayed behind. Her body leaned forward. It was hard to keep it straight. In the afternoon she felt changes and lightness while walking. Other symptoms have also improved: there were no headaches, she could move her head from one side to the other and her hands no longer hurt. But what impressed her most was her new way of walking. She can easily rise, she recovers quickly and she moves differently.

She was diagnosed with Arnold-Chiari syndrome and recommends the procedure for cases with similar symptoms. She regrets not having been operated by the Sectioning of the Filum terminale before, when she was a child.
