Schreiber and colleagues detected a significantly higher prevalence of internal jugular vein valve incompetence (IJVVI) in patients with transient global amnesia (TGA).[1] No intracranial venous drainage pattern specifically related to IJVVI was, however, found. The relatively late age of onset of TGA and the low rate of recurrence (3-4%) are also features that are not consistent with a persistent a...
