Scoliosis, Chiari malformations and CCSVI
Abnormal curvatures of the spine, such as scoliosis can tether the cord and cause Chiari malformations and CCSVI. Continue reading
CCSVI or CCVBP
Chronic craniocervical venous back pressure or CCVBP is most likely the cause of MS in most cases rather than CCSVI. Continue reading

Upper Cervical Strain and CCSVI
A venogram of a patient with an upper cervical strain shows decreased venous outflow from the brain through the vertebral veins. Continue reading
CCSVI, Brain Cooling and Blood Flow
The upper cervical spine plays an important role in venous drainage, blood flow and brain cooling. Continue reading

Cranial Sutures and CCSVI
The skull is made up of cartilagenous and membranous bones. The cartilagenous bones make up the base of the skull and are more related to the musculoskeletal system of the spine. In contrast, the membranous bones form the cover over … Continue reading

Chiari, Trauma and CCSVI
Chiari malformation is a subject I discuss at length in my book along with Dandy Walker syndrome and pressure conus conditions, so I won’t go into it detail here. Suffice it to say that, among other things, Chiari and pressure … Continue reading
CCSVI, US and MR Angiograms
Upright phase contrast MR angiograms are better than ultrasound scans to determine venous outflow in the brain. Continue reading

CCSVI and Brain Pressure
Cranial hydrodynamics is a term used by radiologists to describe fluid mechanics in the brain, which includes blood and cerebrospinal fluid called CSF. Intracranial compliance is term used to describe pressure changes in the brain inside the skull caused by … Continue reading
Stenosis Versus Compliance in CCSVI
The exam is an indirect assessment of venous outflow from the brain and produces equivocal results but the liberation procedure appears to work well. Continue reading
