Abstract:
The glymphatic system (GS) is an essential waste clearance pathway in the central nervous system, playing a crucial role in the occurrence and progression of cerebrovascular diseases. In recent years, advancements in imaging techniques have provided important tools for assessing the structure and dynamics of the GS, further advancing its research in patients with cerebrovascular disease. This article reviews various imaging evaluation methods and clinical significance of GS in patients with cerebrovascular disease, aiming to provide a new perspective for a deeper understanding of the pathophysiological mechanisms and clinical practice of cerebrovascular disease.
