Extra- and transcranial echo colour Doppler in the diagnosis of chronic cerebrospinal venous insufficiency.

It is a vascular condition characterized by an impaired cerebrospinal venous drainage due to obstructions in the main extracranial cerebrovenous outflow routes (i.e. internal jugular veins [IJV] and/or azygos veins).
