Different internal jugular vein (IJV) abnormalities can be found in patients with multiple sclerosis (MS): stenoses, complete occlusion, distortions and intraluminal structures, such as membranes, webs and inverted valves. IJV duplication is a very rare phenomenon. We report a case of right IJV duplication as an incidental finding during IJV morphological and haemodynamic assessment in a patient with MS. A 55-year-old female patient was admitted to our Institute for IJV and vertebral veins morphological and haemodynamic assessment. During the last seven years she had been treated for MS. Colour Doppler ultrasonography in our patient did not reveal IJV or vertebral veins stenoses or abnormal valves, but instead right IJV duplication. This finding was confirmed using multislice computed tomography angiography and by selective phlebography. In conclusion, to our knowledge, a case of IJV duplication in a patient with MS has not been described yet. This further venous malformation can be assessed by the means of Doppler ultrasounds.

Significant Difference

Objectives & Methods: We evaluated internal jugular vein and vertebral vein volume flow using ultrasound, in patients with clinically isolated syndrome or mild multiple sclerosis and controls, to determine whether volume flow was different between the two groups. Results: In patients and controls, internal jugular vein volume flow increased from superior to inferior segments, consistent with recruitment from collateral veins. Internal jugular vein and vertebral vein volume flow were greater on the right in supine and sitting positions. Internal jugular vein volume flow was higher in the supine posture. Vertebral vein volume flow was higher in the sitting posture. Regression analyses of cube root transformed volume flow data, adjusted for supine/sitting, right/left and internal jugular vein/vertebral vein, revealed no significant difference in volume flow in patients compared to controls. Conclusions: Our findings further refute the concept of venous obstruction as a causal factor in the pathogenesis of multiple sclerosis. Control volume flow data may provide useful normative reference values.
