Multiple sclerosis (MS) is a chronic inflammatory disorder of the central nervous system
(CNS) most commonly characterized by focal areas of myelin destruction, inflammation and …

Background Recent evidence has indicated an association between chronic cerebrospinal
venous insufficiency (CCSVI) and multiple sclerosis. Small internal jugular veins (IJVs)(with …

CCSVI is the acronym for Chronic Cerebrospinal Venous Insufficiency, initially described by
P. Zamboni, as being strongly associated with multiple sclerosis (MS). It is a syndrome …

Background Several studies have reported hypoperfusion of the brain parenchyma in
multiple sclerosis (MS) patients. We hypothesized a possible relationship between abnormal …

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE: CCSVI has been reported to occur at high frequency in
MS. Its significance in relation to MR imaging parameters also needs to be determined, both …

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE: Chronic cerebrospinal venous insufficiency (CCSVI) is a
vascular condition characterized by anomalies of the main extracranial cerebrospinal …

Opinion statement Multiple sclerosis (MS) is a relapsing and progressive disorder of the
central nervous system. It is characterized most commonly by episodes of clinical worsening …

Background: Chronic cerebrospinal venous insufficiency (CCSVI) was proposed as the
causal trigger for developing multiple sclerosis (MS). However, current data are …

Objective: Chronic cerebrospinal venous insufficiency (CCSVI) was recently described in
patients with multiple sclerosis (MS). The hypothesis of the vascular aetiology provides a …

Objective: Multiple sclerosis (MS) is characterized by demyelination centered around
cerebral veins. Recent studies suggested this topographic pattern may be caused by venous …
