A case of extrinsic chronic cerebrospinal venous insufficiency in a patient with multiple sclerosis.
We aim to present a very rare case of chronic cerebrospinal venous insufficiency due to both brachiocephalic vein obstruction by aberrant right subclavian artery and internal jugular vein distal compression by first cervical vertebra transverse process, demonstrated by multislice computerized tomography in a patient with multiple sclerosis.
