No evidence for impairment of venous hemodynamics in children or young adults with pediatric-onset multiple sclerosis.
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Chronic cerebrospinal venous insufficiency is a postulated etiologic factor for multiple sclerosis, but the higher frequency with longer disease duration and progressive disability suggests that chronic cerebrospinal venous insufficiency is secondary to chronic disease. We evaluated the presence of chronic cerebrospinal venous insufficiency in pediatric-onset MS. MATERI...
متن کاملFour-dimensional flow magnetic resonance imaging and ultrasound assessment of cerebrospinal venous flow in multiple sclerosis patients and controls
A possibly causal relationship between multiple sclerosis and chronic cerebrospinal venous insufficiency has recently been hypothesized. Studies investigating chronic cerebrospinal venous insufficiency have reported conflicting results and few have employed multiple diagnostic imaging modalities across a large patient and control population. In this study, three complementary imaging modalities...
متن کاملValidity of the diagnostic criteria for chronic cerebrospinal venous insufficiency and association with multiple sclerosis.
BACKGROUND The chronic cerebrospinal venous insufficiency theory proposes that altered cerebral venous hemodynamics play a role in the pathophysiology of multiple sclerosis. We aimed to explore the validity of this hypothesis by assessing the diagnostic criteria for chronic cerebrospinal venous insufficiency in persons with and without multiple sclerosis. METHODS We compared the proportion of...
متن کاملScreening for chronic cerebrospinal venous insufficiency (CCSVI) using ultrasound--recommendations for a protocol.
Chronic cerebrospinal venous insufficiency (CCSVI) is a syndrome characterized by stenoses or obstructions of the internal jugular and/or azygos veins with disturbed flow and formation of collateral venous channels. Studies using ultrasound in patients with multiple sclerosis (MS) have demonstrated a high prevalence of CCSVI (mean 70%; range 0-100%; N.=1496), whereas, in normal controls and pat...
متن کاملChronic Cerebrospinal Venous Insufficiency: A Failed Concept
I appreciate the response and interest to our recent article regarding chronic cerebrospinal venous insufficiency (CCSVI) in multiple sclerosis (MS) a failed concept. Rasman has eloquently pointed out a number of important points of discussion surrounding the controversy behind the concept of CCSVI. The main point being the high degree of variability behind the diagnostic ultrasound (DU) criter...
