If you're looking for questions, I've been wondering about the Canadian SAB board. Are the members in fairly good consensus about what the trials should look like? Is there anything that is a disagreement point? How soon can we expect Canadian trials to commence? Canadians have been waiting a long time already....
the azygous abnormalities are also frequently valvular. However the inflow vein problems on the iliac vein or the renal vein are compressions rather than intrinsic disease.PointsNorth wrote:Dr. S,
Are the stenoses found in vessels other than the IJVs valvular in nature? Is this relevant in any way?
BTW-I read that tarsiers can be kept as pets!

I was hoping to hear about prevalency of the EJV being blocked, although if he's not checking for it, he would not know prevalency. During my procedures, both times, my azygous was said to have very rapid flow. It looked like an azygous carrying the extra flow from another vein, and at one point during my second procedure, Dr. Sclafani expected to find nutcracker syndrome based on the flow in my azygous, but there was no nutcracker syndrome. The external jugular vein was never checked and, if there was an external jugular blockage, could that flow be rerouted to the verts and down the spine and to the azygous? This is the route that my collateral flow for my jugulars took.mo_en wrote:Dear Doctor, two questions:
1. How often have you seen the external jugular vein be used as a collateral of the internal?
2. Provided that the above is true, wouldn't be useful to check and restore a probable valve problem in the external?
I am personally interested in this as well mo-en, I also would be concerned about the flow of CSF in the cord due to the lesions on the cord as well as the flow of CSF due to its pump system being effected by slow flow through the brain stem area. The cord has much more importance than we give it credit.mo_en wrote:One more: How can one tell whether a vein is hypoplastic or simply narrow due to small blood flow? If the accumulation of lesions in the spinal cord diminished the available room in the vertebral column or exerted pressure on vertebral plexus, could this result in reduced spinal flow capacity and, subsequently, less blood volume in the lumbar veins?
Is it the rapid flow OR the question of what is causing it that raises our concern?Cece wrote:If rapid flow in the azygous looks identical to flow in the azygous when nutcracker syndrome is present, and nutcracker syndrome may cause chronic fatigue, could my rapid flow in my azygous be causing fatigue?
In my azygous, the flow was rapid but not refluxing. In CCSVI with azygous obstruction and nutcracker syndrome, there would be reflux. But in pediatric chronic fatigue in nutcracker syndrome despite no azygous obstruction, what is causing that chronic fatigue?CureOrBust wrote:Is it the rapid flow OR the question of what is causing it that raises our concern?Cece wrote:If rapid flow in the azygous looks identical to flow in the azygous when nutcracker syndrome is present, and nutcracker syndrome may cause chronic fatigue, could my rapid flow in my azygous be causing fatigue?
And even more importantly how do we know that it is rapid flow, and why?CureOrBust wrote:Is it the rapid flow OR the question of what is causing it that raises our concern?Cece wrote:If rapid flow in the azygous looks identical to flow in the azygous when nutcracker syndrome is present, and nutcracker syndrome may cause chronic fatigue, could my rapid flow in my azygous be causing fatigue?
