Epilepsy is one of the common chronic diseases in neurology, and antiepileptic medication is the main treatment method. Studies have shown that epileptic seizures may disrupt the permeability of the blood brain barrier (BBB), and BBB disruption may also lead to epilepsy. This article reviews the mechanism of BBB in the pathogenesis of epilepsy based on relevant research progress, elucidates the relationship between BBB and epilepsy, and proposes possible directions for future research and development of antiepileptic drugs.
