Yes, obstructions of the cerebral outflow can be significant. Can cause symptoms of cerebral hypertension.But just to clarify, by the Schelling model, it doesnt cause ccsvi. Schelling suggests that forceful meck movements that activate the neck strap m uscles compress dilated IJV and, in the prsence of J1 obstructions causes forceful reflux above the valve into the deep cerebral veins. If this is true, then obstructions at the skull base protects against that because that forceful reflux cannot get above the obstructions.blossom wrote:it makes no sence that blood flow can "only" be hindered from the inside of a jugular or vein. or even csf flow. compression no matter what the source would have to have an effect. try tieing something around a leg, arm or finger. leave it on there long enough and you are in trouble. why would it be any different with jugulars or arteries. why wouldn't skull compression or vertebra compression be different? compression is compression. whatever the hinderance it's bound to produce bad results.
civickiller is right.
All hypothetical thoughts on my part.
