Times have always been difficult for the SEN, from the initial efforts to constitute it involving all the neurologists of that era, to the present day. I can imagine the tremendous and arduous task faced by the neurologists of that time, as it was first necessary to dissolve the former SENNCA (Ecuadorian Society of Neurology, Neurosurgery, and Related Sciences). This event took place on October 28, 1981, within the context of the VII Latin American Congress of Neurosurgery and the XIII Latin American Congress of Electroencephalography and Neurophysiology. I can envision the intense level of that dialectic and the maieutics applied to give birth to our society in March 1983.
