Background: In the latest years jugular vein valve incompetence has been associated to many neurological disorders such as idiopathic intra cranial hypertension, transient global amnesia, and cough induced headache. It was hypothesized that impeded venous return from the brain may play a causal role in the etiology of IIH. The intact valve efficiently prevents retrograde flow into the internal jugular vein. Objectives: The aim of this study is to assess jugular vein valves as regard their presence and competence and their relationship with age, BMI, opening CSF pressure and MRV findings in IIH patients Subjects and methods: Twenty five female patients suffer of IIH and twenty four normal females matched for age and BMI participated in the study. Included patients were submitted to clinical evaluation, laboratory work up, MRI and MRV .Duplex ultrasonography of the internal jugular veins done to all patients and controls
