Our Society

The self-help group was set up in 1990. We are a small group with around 100 members. Our membership is drawn from syringomyelia patients, their friends and relatives as well as other interested people. We believe there are approximately 400 people in the Republic of Ireland with syringomyelia as it affects around one in every ten thousand people.

As a society we have a chairperson & board. Details of our annual general meeting are included on the news and events page. This is an opportunity for everyone to get together and chat as well as getting on with the business of the society as well as hearing the guest speakers who are regularly invited to come and give a presentation.
