摘要缺血性卒中的病理生理学机制涉及血管神经网络。脑静脉是血管神经网络中不可或缺的一部分，可提供有效的引流途径并维持足够的脑灌注。越来越多的证据表明，脑静脉引流系统功能正常对于缺血性卒中患者转归可能与动脉灌注同等重要。然而，相对于脑动脉系统，脑静脉系统尚未引起足够关注。文章就脑静脉系统的解剖、在缺血性卒中后的影像学改变以及缺血性卒中及其相关并发症可能涉及的脑静脉相关机制进行了综述。

abstractsThe pathophysiology of ischemic stroke involves the vascular neural network. Cerebral vein is an indispensable part of vascular neural network, which can provide effective drainage pathway and maintain sufficient cerebral perfusion. More and more evidence have shown that the normal function of cerebral venous drainage system may be as important as arterial perfusion for the outcome of patients with ischemic stroke. However, compared with the cerebral artery system, the cerebral venous system has not attracted enough attention. This article reviews the anatomy of cerebral venous system, the imaging changes after ischemic stroke, and the possible mechanisms of cerebral venous system involved in ischemic stroke and its related complications.
