high-resolution B-mode ultrasound evidence of stenosis of the internal jugular vein, absence of flow in the internal jugular or vertebral veins on Doppler ultrasound, and; reverted postural control of the main cerebral venous outflow pathways. It is still not clear whether magnetic resonance venography, venous angiography, or Doppler sonography ...
The internal jugular vein is a paired jugular vein that collects blood from the brain and the superficial parts of the face and neck. This vein runs in the carotid sheath with the common carotid artery and vagus nerve. It begins in the posterior compartment of the jugular foramen, at the base of the skull.
Patients with SJVCS experience compression of venous outflow on both sides due to bone structures. It occurs due to compression of the internal jugular vein (IJV) between the C1 vertebrae transverse process and the temporal styloid process. Treatments like venous stenting and styloidectomy have shown positive results. [13] [14] [15] [16]

For example, in portal hypertension, there is an abnormal portal venous flow where it flows away from the liver (hepatofugal flow) instead of the normal flow towards liver (hepatopetal flow). In jugular venous pressure waveform of the internal jugular vein, the retrograde "a" waveform is a normal flow due to right atrium contraction. Both ...
Kussmaul's sign is a paradoxical rise in jugular venous pressure (JVP) on inspiration, or a failure in the appropriate fall of the JVP with inspiration. It can be seen in some forms of heart disease and is usually indicative of limited right ventricular filling due to right heart dysfunction.
Thrombosis of the internal jugular vein can be displayed with sonography. Thrombi that have developed recently have low echogenicity or echogenicity similar to the flowing blood, and in such cases pressure with the ultrasound probe show a non-compressible jugular vein - a sure sign of thrombosis.
The jugular veins are veins that take blood from the head back to the heart via the superior vena cava. The internal jugular vein descends next to the internal carotid artery and continues posteriorly to the sternocleidomastoid muscle.
