Vasogenic brain edema is one of the major determinants for mortality following subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH). Although the formation of vasogenic brain edema occurs on the microvascular level by opening of endothelial tight junctions and disruption of the basal lamina, microvascular changes following experimental SAH are poorly characterized. The aim of the present study was therefore to investigate the time course of blood-brain barrier (BBB) dysfunction and basal lamina damage following SAH as a basis for the better understanding of the pathophysiology of SAH. SAH was induced in Sprague-Dawley rats by an endovascular filament. Animals were sacrificed 6, 24, 48, and 72 h thereafter (n=9 per group). Microvascular basal lamina damage was quantified by collagen type IV immunostaining. Western blotting was used to quantify collagen IV protein content and bovine serum albumin (BSA) extravasation as a measure for basal lamina damage and blood-brain barrier disruption, respectively. BSA Western blot revealed significant (p
