Abstract
Objectives: To evaluate the role of the omohyoid muscle anatomic variants as a possible reversible cause of internal
jugular vein extrinsic compression.

Method: We describe a chronic cerebro-spinal venous insufficiency patient, who presented a omohyoid muscle entrapment

To the best of our knowledge, there have been no reports illustrating normalization of the sizes of cerebral veins and dural sinuses after decreasing CSF pressure in patients with IIH. Gideon et al (8) and Mattle et al (9), by means of MR flow measurement, showed mean blood flows in the superior sagittal sinus of 457 mL/min and 420 mL/min, respectively, in healthy control volunteers and also showed ...

 Post subject: Can Minocycline help CCSVI patients?
PostPosted: Sun May 19, 2013 1:47 pm 
I recall reading on here a year or so ago that taking Minocycline can help for CCSVI patients,

Am i correct with this memory?
Has other post balloon angio patients used this abx? how were the results?

I am considering the Wheldon abx protocol which includes doxycycline and i recalled people talking of potential benefits for CCSVI patients including ones who have had balloon angio already

The dose i will be taking is 200mg doxycycline ...

 Post subject: CCSVI Evolved and the Missing Infectious Link
PostPosted: Fri May 17, 2013 9:13 am 
Contrary to recent “reports”, CCSVI isn’t “dead”. It is being
refined and rethought and is very much alive.

Dr. Zamboni’s groundbreaking insight poses two distinct problems.
First, the reflux of veinous blood into the central nervous system must be
halted (at best) or minimized. Second, the injured tissue must be healed.

Recent observations about cranial fluid dynamics, the possibility that cerebrospinal
fluid build-up can "pressure" venous blood circulation leading to a blood
reflux, implies that ...

Insights to CCSVI, Infections and degenerative diseases.

My line of thought and research has focused lately from my prospective, MS dx and CPn dx and how the two could be linked.
I have read much and found many other PwMS that test positive for Intracellular Bacteria which have similar capabilities to CPn.
There is also studies showing that combinations of infections of virus' and bacteria are implied in co-incidence with MS and many degenerative diseases. ...

PostPosted: Thu May 16, 2013 5:02 pm 
Why don't people with SSS thrombosis have the same (or worse) MSy symptoms and MRI lesions?
http://dura.stanford.edu/Articles/Stam_NEJM05.pdf
It seems like they have very few brain stem related symptoms. I guess if the pressure is so great that it must be treated immediately, that would explain the lack of lesions. There isn't enough time for them to develop. Reflux might not be an issue too. But it seems like they ...

 Post subject: appendectomy or tonsillectomy before age 20 increases risk
PostPosted: Mon May 13, 2013 10:38 am

Quote:
CONCLUSIONS:
We found a small but statistically significant and clinically important increased risk for developing multiple sclerosis, in those with tonsillectomy and appendectomy at <= 20 years of age. There was no convincing evidence to support the association of other surgeries and the risk for multiple sclerosis. Well-designed prospective etiological studies, pertaining to the risk for developing multiple sclerosis, ought to be conducted and should include the examination ...
