Introduction: Disruption of the blood brain barrier (BBB) and subsequent cerebral edema formation is one of the major adverse effects of brain surgery, leading to postoperative neurological dysfunction. Recently, Mfsd2a has been shown to have a crucial role for the maintenance of BBB functions. In this study, we aimed to evaluate the role of Mfsd2a on BBB disruption following surgical brain injury (SBI) in rats.
