Table 2 Distribution of venous hemodynamic criteria among CCSVI positive patients

From: Cognitive impairment and “invisible symptoms” are not associated with CCSVI in MS

 

Number of CCSVI positive patients (%)

Criterion III

19 (28.8%)

Criterion II

16 (24.2%)

Criterion I

15 (22.7%)

Criterion V

15 (22.7%)

Criterion IV

1 (1.5%)

  1. Criterion I = Reflux in the IJVs and/or VVs in sitting and supine posture.
  2. Criterion II = Reflux in the DCVs.
  3. Criterion III = High-resolution B-mode evidence of proximal IJV stenoses.
  4. Criterion IV = Flow not Doppler detectable in the IJVs and/or VVs.
  5. Criterion V = Reverted postural control of the main cerebral venous outflow Pathway (Δ CSA).
  6. N number.
  7. IJVs internal jugular veins.
  8. VVs vertebral veins.
  9. DCVs deep cerebral veins.
