If you ask me, the implication is big. As our Jugular Veins (the main clearance pathway) remain impaired, one can hypothesize that our toxic and metabolic clearance is impacted. The degree to which it is impacted might differ depending on the severity of compression and the robustness of the collateral drainage etc. BTW, there are studies linking IJVS/impaired venous outflow to Alzheimer’s disease. One pathway that is gaining popularity is glymphatic pathway. > [@MANTOVANI et al.

There is one pathway that is gaining popularity on how long term obstruction of Venous Outflow can contribute to development of serious neurodegenerative diseases and that is Glymphatic system. Here is very interesting article about it ([The glymphatic pathway in neurological disorders.](https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC6261373/#:~:text=The%20glial-lymphatic%20or%20glymphaticpathway%20is%20a%20fluid%20clearance,brain%20interstitium%20facilitated%20by%20aquaporin-4%20%28AQP4%29%20water%20channels)) --- _[View the full topic](https://forum.livingwitheagle.org/t/warning-graphic-visual-information-ijv-compression-another-point-of-view/9579)._
