Internal Jugular Vein Valve Incompetence Is Highly Prevalent in Transient Global Amnesia

.

Results— Valve insufficiency was found in at least one jugular vein in 113 of 142 patients with Transient Global Amnesia (79.5%) and in 10 of 40 controls (25.0%), P<0.01. The right side was affected more often than the left side, P<0.01, and 26.8% of the patients had bilateral incompetence.

.

Conclusions— Patients with TGA have a high prevalence of IJV valve insufficiency. This finding may have pathophysiologic implications. Doppler evaluation of the IJVs with dynamic maneuvers may help in the evaluation of this usually benign condition.
