Abstract：Spinal venous hypertension syndrome refers to a set of comprehensive symptoms resulting from various vascular disorders of the spinal cord,spine,and their surrounding structures,which cause obstruction of the venous return of the spinal cord drainage or the reverse flow of extracanal venous blood into the spinal canal venous system,thereby increasing the pressure in the spinal cord venous system and slowing down the circulation,and causing impaired spinal cord function.Common etiologies include spinal vascular diseases,dural arteriovenous fistulas,vertebral arteriovenous fistulas,stenosis and occlusion of the paravertebral venous system,etc.Due to the lack of awareness regarding the etiology and pathogenesis of spinal venous hypertension syndrome,coupled with the non-specificity of clinical manifestations,it is prone to misdiagnosis and delayed treatment in clinical practice.This paper summarizes the causes and pathogenesis of spinal venous hypertension syndrome and reviews the treatment experience of patients with spinal venous hypertension syndrome who were misdiagnosed in other hospitals and admitted to our hospital in the past 40 years,providing a reference for clinical practice.
