In one of his emails; the Dr.Schelling wrote:

In trying to find out whether an instance of MS is developing on account of
venous anomaly we ought to first try to find out what a kind of lesions its
neurological deficits are caused by. Did your MRI show Dawson's fingers
arising from the lower surface of the corpus callosum or at the Steiner's
Wetterwinkel (the lateral cerebral ventricles' outer angle) or more
peripheral ovoid lesions/Steiner splashes?
we may have to correlate the MRI results of plaques with the 'map' of our venous flow.
He also wrote once:
Quote:
According to the available evidence, the development of MS of especially
lower segments of the spinal cord depends mainly on anomalies affecting
lumbar veins and their connection to epidural spinal veins, on the one hand,
and to inferior cava vein on the other. The azygos vein can only set part of
the scene.
Our present diagnostic workup of vein-conditioned MS is incomplete even in
the brain. What is being looked for are venous stenoses in internal jugular
veins- without even considering whether, or to which extent, such stenoses
do actually affect the venous pathway of straight sinus and inner cerebral
veins. Unusual widening, valvular incompetence and collateral channels along
internal jugular veins are hardly even taken into account.
Hope any of this might help; cheers!
