No Cerebrocervical Venous Congestion in Patients with Multiple Sclerosis

TL;DR: Multiple sclerosis (MS) is characterized by demyelination centered around cerebral veins, and recent studies suggested this topographic pattern may be caused by venous congestion, a condition termed chronic cerebrospinal venous insufficiency (CCSVI).

The craniocervical venous system in relation to cerebral venous drainage.

TL;DR: The nearly constant presence of the anterior condylar confluent (ACC) located on the external orifice of the canal of the hypoglossal nerve is revealed, a constant anatomic structure that may play an important role in the redirection of cerebral blood in the craniocervical region.

Brain evolution in Homo: The “radiator” theory

TL;DR: The radiator theory is in keeping with the belief that basal gracile and basal robust australopithecines occupied distinct niches, with the former living in savanna mosaic habitats that were subject to hot temperatures and intense solar radiation during the day.

Physiology of cerebral venous blood flow: from experimental data in animals to normal function in humans.

TL;DR: The authors have summarized the current knowledge of the physiology of the cerebrovenous system and discuss it is in the light of its clinical relevance.

How does the blood leave the brain? A systematic ultrasound analysis of cerebral venous drainage patterns

TL;DR: In the majority of subjects in the study population, the internal jugular veins were indeed the main drainage vessels in the supine body position, however, a predominantly non-jugular drainage pattern was found in approximately 6% of subjects.
