Associations Between Doppler Internal Jugular Vein Blood Flow and Transverse Sinus Stasis Detected by Magnetic Resonance Imaging.

Objectives: This study aimed to compare the estimated internal jugular vein (IJV) volume flow with Doppler ultrasound in patients with slow flow in the transverse sinuses and normal transverse sinuses on brain magnetic resonance imaging (MRI).

Methods: Eighty patients between the ages of 18 and 80 years who did not have any signs of sinus vein thrombosis on brain MRI were included. On MRI, cases with hyperintensity due to a signal void loss in the transverse sinuses in coronal fluid attenuation inversion recovery sequences were included in the slow-flow group.
