Bilateral jugular vein stenosis impedes blood flow from the brain and is associated with white matter hyperintensities and intracranial pressure.

“specifically he said that I had uh some internal jugular vein stenosis so the the pipe inside of my neck which is responsible for blood flow out of the brain he identified on the MRI that I had significant stenosis and that was potentially causing all kinds of other problems in my brain including my white matter hyperintensities and pressure increases and it explained a bunch of symptoms I was having such as headaches uh at night piercing headaches”

“we corrected the entire thing so once kahito identified this and we started getting additional measurements to quantify what really was going on we looked at intracranial pressure with eye measurements we did not do a puncture at a lumbar we decided that was too invasive for the situation but we did extensive eye measurements and then uh we had a we talked to a bunch of experts on what they would do we looked at some surgery surgical options to fix it yeah and he said actually no I think you can solve with posture changes”
