Hello Everyone, On one of my MRI’s there was an incidental finding of a Circumarotic left renal vein. I’m curious to know, if anyone here with EDS has noticed this finding on you’re mri reports. This is a congenital anomaly which consists of an extra renal vein. I’ve always wondered if this could possibly be contributing to my NCS/POTS, or other symptoms. Just brain storming with little brain power today:)
Hi Letsgetwell, I can’t say I’ve seen that specific anomaly, but what I DO see (or hear about regularly are NUMEROUS venous irregularities including most anything with renal veins. Lots of strange collaterals, The Nutcracker Phenomenon, abnormal course of the renal veins, abnormal termination of renal veins, etc. It sounds like you are right in there with most. Yes, my friends, it’s VEINS GONE WILD sometimes in EDS, and when it affects the veins in our brain, head neck and heart, the effects won’t go unnoticed. Please let us know how it goes for you, OK? Big hug, Diana
