This Is MS Multiple Sclerosis Community: Knowledge & Support

ya but we need to trap for causative order. What if the ms attack happened first causing restenosis? This could be ruled out if someone got a dated image showing restenosis and then had some kind of proof when the ms attack happened...hmmm.

the consortium uni0n of phlebology consensus document with its statement that CCSVI is a congenital truncal vascular malformation

What is a congenital vascular malformation?

A: Congenital vascular malformation,often referred to as "CVM" among clinicians, is an inborn defect resulting from the arrest of normal development of the vascular structure, and/or failure of orderly resorption of the embryologic primitive vascular element and subsequent persistence of the immature anomalous vascular structure. In other words, when this primitive vascular structure, which is essential for the rapid development of embryonal life, should fail to continue to develop normally and/ or remains even after birth following failure of the normal resorption of this embryonal vascular structure (which is no longer needed after birth), this anomalous vascular structure/embryonal remnant jeopardizes normal life after birth. Therefore, depending upon the stage of the embryologic morphogenesis at which the arrays stop, various types of vascular malformation can occur. Hence, "vascular malformation" seems to be enough to define this inborn abnormality without further addition of "congenital," because all vascular malformations are the result of an inborn error, after all.

So far, we've seen cysts, double jugulars, bony and tissue obstructions, faulty valves, and now an absence of presacral venous plexus. And what do all these people have in common? They all have a variety of venous malformations and have MS. MS didn't give Lew a double jugular with an extra valve. MS didn't give my Jeff a tight, muscular neck and I don't think MS made your husband's presacral venous plexus disappear, or his jugulars collapse. I think you have a smart doctor, why...checking the veins that far south. I still want my hubby's legs scanned.
