summary: Multiple Sclerosis (MS) etiopathogenesis has been challenged by the suggested new entity chronic cerebrospinal venous insufficiency. The authors studied 21 people with relapsing-remitting MS and 20 healthy volunteers with non conventional MRI. In addition, they performed magnetic resonance angiography in people with MS. They found no differences in internal jugular venous flow or cerebrospinal fluid flow. In conclusion, they found no evidence to confirm the suggested vascular multiple sclerosis hypothesis.
