The investigation of the cerebral venous system in multiple sclerosis

Bateman et al. (2021) shows that multiple sclerosis (MS) is strongly associated with raised pressure in the superior sagittal sinus (SSS) and increased jugular bulb height above the sigmoid sinus. These findings are consistent with an increased aqueductal CSF pulse, as previously described in MS. They reinforce the hypothesis that intracranial compliance is reduced in MS and that internal jugular vein abnormalities contribute to SSS...
