Abstract

A 63-year-old female developed left hemiparesis caused by intracranial intratumoral and peritumoral hemorrhage with cerebral herniation 4 days after cerebral angiography to evaluate right convexity and petrosal meningiomas. The cerebral angiography procedure may have caused the tumoral edema and intracranial hemorrhage because computed tomography on admission revealed the right convexity meningioma as slightly low density compared to before the hemorrhage. Administration of contrast medium is known to cause complications involving microcirculatory collapse and blood-brain barrier dysfunction associated with brain tumors. Therefore, the contrast medium may have affected the meningioma after cerebral angiography.

Blood Brain Barrier Regulation in Health & Disease

The blood brain barrier is essential in regulating the movement of molecules and substances in and out of the brain. Disruption to the blood brain barrier and changes in permeability allow pathogens and inflammatory molecules to cross the barrier and may play a part in the pathogenesis of neurodegenerative disorders. Here is the latest research in this field.

Blood Brain Barrier Chips

The blood brain barrier (BBB) is comprised of endothelial cells that regulate the influx and outflux of plasma concentrations. Lab-on-a-chip devices allow scientists to model diseases and mechanisms such as the passage of therapeutic antibodies across the BBB. Discover the latest research on BBB chips here.

Blood Brain Barrier

The blood brain barrier is a border that separates blood from cerebrospinal fluid. Discover the latest search on this highly selective semipermeable membrane here.
