Jugular venous reflux in cerebral radionuclide angiography: an explanation.
A case of isotopic jugular venous reflux, reaching the opposite jugular vein, is described. Phlebography and aortography were simultaneously performed in this patient and showed the innominate vein narrowed and pinched between the sternal notch and the aortic arch. This narrowing depends on the position of the left arm.
