Chronic cerebrospinal venous insufficiency (CCSVI) is a vascular condition characterized by morphologic alterations involving efferent cerebral vascular paths. CCSVI has been implicated as a contributing factor to multiple sclerosis (MS) but this theory is highly controversial. We report 3 cases of CCSVI patients with MS who had undergone internal jugular veins (IJVs) angioplasty to restore vessels patency. All patients reported significant symptomatic improvement after angioplasty until symptoms recurred after restenosis of the treated IJVs. Surgical IJVs reconstruction was performed. Patients' symptoms gradually improved and the benefits were maintained at the 1-year follow-up.
慢性脑脊髓静脉功能不全（CCSVI）是一种血管疾病，其特征是传出性脑血管路径出现形态学改变。CCSVI被认为是多发性硬化症（MS）的一个促成因素，但这一理论极具争议性。我们报告了3例患有MS的CCSVI患者，他们接受了颈内静脉（IJVs）血管成形术以恢复血管通畅。所有患者在血管成形术后均报告症状有显著改善，但在治疗的IJVs再狭窄后症状复发。于是进行了手术性IJVs重建。患者症状逐渐改善，且在1年随访时仍保持疗效。
