Picture To Ponder...

Right Internal Jugular Vein Stenosis....


So my scanner isn't working...So I had to take a picture of a scan, not an easy task...lol

But regardless you can get the idea. If you look at the picture on the left hand side you see a large dark image going down the scan and in the middle it gets really narrow... This is the jugular stenosis,that is how narrow his jugular vein gets.
In this picture you also see two wavy lines coming off the jugular, these are veins that have grown to try to pick up the work load that is being restricted because of the stenosis..( they should not be there..)
The thin wire that loops in the picture is the cath thingy( don't know what the name of it is..)
We are waiting to see what they are going to do.. ( may take weeks to get an answer... )
But, for all those who were asking, that is the best I can do..lol
