Excerpt

Migraine physiopathology is still not completely clear and several endogenous and exogenous elements are thought to be involved at least in the modulation of clinical presentations and possibly in the transformation process. The possible role of venous cranial outflow in migraine is poorly understood. Idiopathic intracranial hypertension (IIH) and chronic migraine (CM) share relevant risk factors, and sinus stenosis, a radiological marker of IIH, is much more prevalent in CM patients than expected [1]. We designed this study to explore the cranial venous outflow in migraineurs and healthy controls and its relationship with venous morphological abnormalities and with migraine symptoms. …
