Transient Global Amnesia Linked to Impairment of Brain Venous Drainage: An Ultrasound Investigation

Transient Global Amnesia Linked to Impairment of Brain Venous Drainage: An Ultrasound Investigation

Background: Previous neuroimaging and ultrasound studies suggested that compression and stenosis of the internal jugular vein (IJV) in patients with transient global amnesia (TGA) may impair IJV drainage, while a patent IJV releases intracranial pressure caused by the Valsalva maneuver (VM).Methods:...
