This system facilitates the entry of cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) into the brain parenchyma via arterial perivascular spaces and its interaction with interstitial fluid (ISF) via glial cell-associated aquaporin-4 (AQP4) channels. It functions particularly actively during sleep. Impairment of glymphatic flow contributes to nerve cell damage and neuroinflammation in various pathologies such as Alzheimer\u2019s disease, Parkinson\u2019s disease, traumatic brain injury, subarachnoid hemorrhage, and neurological tumors. In neurosurgical practice, surgical positioning, anesthesia regimen, and intracranial pressure changes play a decisive role in glymphatic function, and perioperative modulation of the system can affect postoperative recovery and cognitive outcomes. Today, non-invasive imaging techniques and molecular biological approaches are deepening our understanding of the functioning of the glymphatic system in humans, and this system is emerging as a potential target in the diagnosis and treatment of neurological diseases. This review comprehensively addresses the basic anatomical and physiological principles of the glymphatic system, its role in pathological processes, and its clinical significance in neurosurgical applications.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/jcm15145700","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2026,7,21]],"date-time":"2026-07-21T08:14:27Z","timestamp":1784621667000},"page":"5700","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":0,"title":["The Glymphatic System and Neurosurgery: A Comprehensive Narrative Review of Current Concepts and Future Directions"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"15","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-2486-4631","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Kadir","family":"\u00c7etinkaya","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Neurosurgery, H\u0131t\u0131t University Erol Olcok Training and Research Hospital, \u00c7orum 19040, T\u00fcrkiye"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0009-0006-8655-4718","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Ya\u015far","family":"\u00dcnsal","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Neurosurgery, Bilkent City Hospital, Ankara 06800, T\u00fcrkiye"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2026,7,21]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"147ra111","DOI":"10.1126\/scitranslmed.3003748","article-title":"A paravascular pathway facilitates CSF flow through the brain parenchyma and the clearance of interstitial solutes, including amyloid \u03b2","volume":"4","author":"Iliff","year":"2012","journal-title":"Sci.
