Venous Obstruction & Cerebral Blood Flow
October 16,2014
Research article indicating: The worse the venous obstruction, the less cerebral blood flow. Severity of CCSVI was directly related to severity of hypoperfusion in CBF
Several studies have reported hypoperfusion of the brain parenchyma in multiple sclerosis (MS) patients. We hypothesized a possible relationship between abnormal perfusion in MS and hampered venous outflow at the extracranial level, a condition possibly associated with MS and known as chronic cerebrospinal venous insufficiency (CCSVI):
