Certain diffuse forms of myelitis may be due to raised intra-spinal venous pressure resulting in veritable "varicose veins of the spinal cord". The origin of this increased pressure is often multifactorial, but may be due to venous reflux of blood from the left kidney into the intraspinal plexuses via the reno-spinal trunk. Ligation of this trunk results in a considerable and often complete improvement in the neurological syndrome. This operation was performed for the first time by our team in 1973 and since then has been successfully performed on 30 occasions for 21 cases of myelopathy and 9 cases of syringomyelia.
某些弥漫性脊髓炎可能是由于脊髓内静脉压升高导致脊髓出现名副其实的“静脉曲张”。这种压力升高的原因通常是多因素的，但可能是由于血液从左肾经肾脊髓干反流至脊髓内丛。结扎该干可使神经综合征得到显著且常常是完全的改善。我们团队于1973年首次进行了该手术，自那时起，已成功为21例脊髓病和9例脊髓空洞症患者进行了30次该手术。
