[Spondylogenic hypertension of deep veins of the brain].

The cerebral deep veins hypertension criteria using bloodstream in large cerebral vein (Galen's vein) are worked up. An increase in venous pressure was proved to be connected with congenital and acquired pathology of cervical spine and craniovertebral isthmus. The new roentgenologic sign of pathology located in craniovertebral isthmus is determined. It is characterized by abnormal high front arc of the atlas, that hinders the outflow of venous blood from the cranial cavity.
