Stefania tells us that she discovered about 10 years ago that she had the Arnold-Chiari I Syndrome and Syringomyelia. The main problem for her was that the doctors were suggesting a sub-occipital craniotomy and because she was scared, she did not do it.

It was in 2014 when she discovered the existence of the Filum Terminale System in Barcelona, a minimally invasive technique compared to the other [craniotomy].

At that moment, she tells us, she travelled to Barcelona with her own strength, but not on her feet, because at that moment she was not able to walk. She was operated and, after a few hours, she felt a big recovery of the strength in her hands and legs.

Today, four years after the surgery, she has discovered that she had a great improvement (decrease) of the Syringomyelia.

She fervently advises the Filum System^® method for everyone who suffers with these conditions, because of the many advantages it can bring, both physical and psychological. It is a non-invasive surgery, which gives us the opportunity to recover to everyone.

The patient thanks the Italian department and, especially, Dr. Miguel B. Royo- Salvador.
