CCSVI as a treatment for high IOP?

CCSVI as a treatment for high IOP?

Submitted by tedjohnson on Sat, 10/30/2010 - 3:31am

Interesting article today about how CCSVI ("Cerebrospinal Venous Insufficiency") is being used as a  new and surprisingly effective treatement for MS.  The description of the problem, "strictures or blockages in the veins that drain blood from the brain and spinal cord, the blood backs up in the brain" makes it sound like it may be a viable treatment for high IOP as well.

The treatment is venoplasty, using a balloon to free up the blockage in the veins.
