Human jugular vein collapse in the upright posture: implications for postural intracranial pressure regulation
Abstract Background Intracranial pressure (ICP) is directly related to cranial dural venous pressure (P dural ). In the upright posture, P dural is affected by the collapse of the internal jugular veins (IJVs) but this regulation of the venous pressure has not been fully understood. A potential biom...
