CCSVI in Multiple Sclerosis
Impact of CCSVI on cerebral haemodynamics: a mathematical study using MRI angiographic and flow data Tweet from Dr. Zamboni: "The impact of extracranial veins on the brain is mathematically proved and validated by MRI" Conclusions Extra-cranial venous strictures can lead to pressure increases in intra-cranial veins of up to 1.3 mmHg, despite the shielding role of the Starling resistor. The long-term clinical implications of the predicted pressure changes are unclear. ABSTRACT: http://phl.sagepub.com/content/early/2015/06/01/0268355515586526.abstractImpact of CCSVI on cerebral haemodynamics: a mathematical study using MRI angiographic and flow dataphl.sagepub.com Background The presence of abnormal anatomy and flow in neck veins has been recently linked to neurological diseases. The precise impact of extra-cranial abnormalities such as stenoses remains unexplored.
