Jugular valve function and petrosal sinuses pressure: a computational model applied to sudden sensorineural hearing loss

Reports of extra-cranial venous outflow disturbances have recently been linked to sudden sensorineural hearing loss (SSNHL). Aims of the present study are: i) to quantify, with mathematical model, the impact of jugular valve function on the pressure of the superior and inferior petrosal sinuses (SPS...
