Probably the link between the vascular problems and MS is that the CSF flow is powered by the adjacent blood flow.

"Several lines of evidence support the notion that regional differences in CSF flow might facilitate focal or diffuse intrathecal trapping of immune cells and stasis of inflammatory molecules, which may diffuse through the pial surface toward the inner cortical layers, in turn mediating a detrimental effect in the adjacent GM"
