International Arnold-Chiari Syndrome Day

Published by ICSEB at 28 September, 2021

On 28 September, the International Arnold-Chiari Syndrome Day is celebrated, with the main objective of raising social awareness about this condition that is still little known; which generates a series of problems for people who suffer from it.

Unfortunately, most of the patients we attend at Institut Chiari & Siringomielia & Escoliosis de Barcelona, apart from the pain they suffer, report having spent a long time trying to obtain a correct diagnosis and suffer from a lack of understanding regarding their symptoms -both by health professionals and family members-.

For this reason, we want to join this day to show all our support to patients and relatives who live with this pathology -which is much more frequent than it seems-, providing the most valuable tool: information about this syndrome, based on more than 40 years of research by Dr. Royo-Salvador and his team.

This link explains the different types of Arnold-Chiari Syndrome, the symptoms and the treatments available for Arnold-Chiari type I Syndrome.

Since 2007, our Institute has been involved in the diagnosis, treatment and monitoring of Arnold-Chiari Syndrome and other pathologies considered of unknown cause, which, according to our research, are manifestations of the Filum Disease and today have a treatment that halts the evolution of this condition and improves symptoms.

On this day, 28 September, we want to draw attention to the importance of a correct diagnosis and treatment. Because incorrect information can lead the patient to make a erroneous decision; which would imply very serious consequences for his health.
