In 135 healthy controls, internal jugular vein (IJV)
narrowing was found to significantly correlate with
increased brain volumes, when accounting for sex and
cardiovascular risk factors. This finding could be
potentially indicative of edema, venous stasis, or
swelling of the brain parenchyma. This relationship was
lost when accounting for age. More robust correlations
were found at lower cervical levels (C7/T1) than higher
levels (C2/C3). This is the first study investigating
the relationship between IJV narrowing and brain volumes
in healthy individuals.
