Abstract: The occurrence,development and reperfusion treatment of ischemic stroke may damage the structure and function of the blood-brain barrier,leading to increased permeability of the blood-brain barrier,and then having cerebral edema or hemorrhagic transformation,and finally resulting in poor outcome.Quantitative assessment of blood-brain barrier permeability is now available.This article reviews the assessment methods of blood-brain barrier permeability and their application in patients with ischemic stroke.
