CCSVI
CCSVI, or Chronic Cerebrospinal Venous Insufficiency, is a neurological condition characterized by the impaired flow of cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) within the venous sinuses of the brain. This condition can lead to a variety of symptoms, including headaches, visual disturbances, and cognitive impairment. The exact cause of CCSVI is not fully understood, but it is believed to be related to abnormalities in the venous sinuses, which are responsible for draining CSF from the brain.
Diagnosis of CCSVI typically involves a combination of imaging techniques, such as magnetic resonance venography (MRV)
CCSVI is a relatively rare condition, with an estimated prevalence of less than 1% in the general
