Abstract

Chronic cerebrospinal venous insufficiency (CCSVI), defined as impaired drainage at internal juguler vein (IJV) and/or azygos veins, has been accused of as an etiological factor in multiple sclerosis (MS) recently. This theory has initiated serious discussions due to negation of the autoimmune theory in MS. With this theory, MS etiopathogenesis has attracted attention due to its different perspectives and many studies have been started. A lot of studies are being conducted at many centers and conflicting results have been reported recently. We aimed to evaluate extracranial and intracranial venous structures by Doppler sonography (DS), cranial MR venography(MRV), and selective venography(SV) for the presence of CCSVI in MS patients and compare the results with healthy subjects. DS, SV and cranial MRV were performed in 25 relapsing-remitting MS patients´whereas cranial MRV and DS were performed in 20 healthy subjects. We found significantly more reflux in MS by DS than the control group (p<0.05, p=0.001). There was no significant difference in the intracranial veins by cranial MRV between two groups. Presence of 50% or more stenosis, detected by selective venography, in right IJV, left IJV, and azygos vein was in 72%, 76%, and 16% of MS patients, respectively. Presence of seventy five or more- stenosis in right IJV, and left IJV was detected in 60% and 48% of MS patients, respectively. There was azygos vein anomaly in 44% of MS patients. The CCSVI rate in our study was 76 % in MS patients. The high rate of collateral circulation that we detected may be an indication of the reflux we detected in patients. Presence of stenosis supporting the CCSVI theory was shown in our study with a limited number of MS patients. Further studies with more patients should be carried out to verify the results. It is not possible to say whether CSSVR is a pathology specific to the MS patient or if there is a physiological variation that may occur in everyone. In order to decide this, we think that more studies are needed in a larger number of patients to further the investigations and to determine the relationship between MS and CSR and / or its effects on MS symptoms.

Özet

Son yıllarda Multipl skleroz (MS) etyolojisinde, internal juguler ven (IJV) ve/veya azigos venlerde venöz drenaj bozukluğu olarak tanımlanan kronik serebrospinal venöz yetmezliğin (KSSVY) etkili olduğu ileri sürülmektedir. Bu teori, MS etyopatogenezinde etkili olduğu düşünülen otoimmün teoriyi toptan yadsıması nedeni ile ciddi tartışmalar başlatmıştır. Bu teori ile, MS etyopatogenezine farklı açılardan bakılması nedeniyle ilgi çekmiş ve bununla ilgili birçok çalışma başlatılmıştır. Çalışmamızda Doppler sonografi (DS), kranial MR venografi (MRV) ve selektif venografi (SV) ile MS hastalarında KSSVY’nin varlığının tespiti, ekstrakraniyal-intrakraniyal venöz yapıların yapısal- fonksiyonel açıdan incelenmesi, sağlıklı kişilerle karşılaştırılması amaçlanmıştır. 25 Relapsing Remitting MS hastasına DS, SV ve kraniyal MRV yapılırken, 20 sağlıklı kişiye kraniyal MR venografi ve Doppler sonografi yapıldı. Hastalarda DS’ de reflü varlığı açısından kontrol grubuna göre istatistiksel olarak anlamlı idi (p<0,05 P=0,001) . Kraniyal MRV’ de intrakraniyal venlerde morfolojik açıdan hasta ve sağlıklı grup arasında istatistiksel olarak anlamlı fark yoktu. Selektif venografide hastaların %72’sinde sağ IJV’de, %76’sında sol IJV’de, %12’sinde azigos vende %50 ve üzeri darlık saptanırken; hastaların %60 da sağ IJV de, %48 inde sol IJV de ve %16 sında ise azigos vende %75 ve üzeri darlık izlendi. Hastaların %44’ünde azigos vende anomali izlendi. Çalışmamızdaki MS hastalarında KSSVY görülme oranı %76 idi. Saptamış olduğumuz yüksek orandaki kolateral dolaşım varlığı, hastalarda saptadığımız reflünün bir göstergesi olabilir. Kontrol grubuna etik kurul selekktif selektif venografiye izin vermediği için normalde nasıl olduğunu bilmiyoruz. Bu çalışmada sınırlı sayıda hasta grubunda bu teoriyi destekleyecek darlık bazı hastalarda gösterilmiştir. KSSVY ‘liğin MS hastasına özgü bir patoloji mi yoksa herkeste olabilecek fizyolojik bir varyasyon olup olmadığını söylemek mümkün değildir. Buna karar vermek için incelemeleri ilerletmek MS ve KSSVY arasındaki ilişkiyi ve/veya bunun MS belirtileri üzerindeki etkilerini saptamak için daha çok sayıda hastada yapılacak geniş çalışmalara ihtiyaç olduğu düşüncesindeyiz. Bu konuda daha ileri çalışmalara ihtiyaç vardır.
