Internal Jugular Vein and Multiple Sclerosis Story
ثبت نشده
چکیده
The cause of Multiple sclerosis (MS) is unknown. Multiple theories for pathogenesis of MS postulated. The most accepted is autoimmune inflammatory process. In recent years the role of internal jugular vein abnormality in MS pathogenesis has been considered as “Big Idea” that raised hopes for MS treatment. But although the earlier studies were promising, their results were not reproducible and recent finding disputed the theory.

The prevailing view on multiple sclerosis etiopathogenesis has been challenged by the suggested new entity chronic cerebrospinal venous insufficiency. To test this hypothesis, we studied 21 relapsing-remitting multiple sclerosis cases and 20 healthy controls with phasecontrast magnetic resonance imaging. In addition, in multiple sclerosis cases we performed contrastenhanced magnetic resonance a...

متن کاملExtracranial Doppler sonographic criteria of chronic cerebrospinal venous insufficiency in the patients with multiple sclerosis.
AIM The aim of this open-label study was to assess extracranial Doppler criteria of chronic cerebrospinal venous insufficiency in multiple sclerosis patients. METHODS Seventy patients were assessed: 49 with relapsing-remitting, 5 with primary progressive and 16 with secondary progressive multiple sclerosis. The patients were aged 15-58 years and they suffered from multiple sclerosis for 0.5-4...
متن کاملInternal Jugular Vein Entrapment in a Multiple Sclerosis Patient
We describe a multiple sclerosis patient presenting with compression of the internal jugular vein caused by aberrant omohyoid muscle. Previously this patient underwent balloon angioplasty of the same internal jugular vein. Ten months after this endovascular procedure, Doppler sonography revealed totally collapsed middle part of the treated vein with no outflow detected. Still, the vein widened ...
