Obstructive sleep apnea-hypopnea syndrome (OSAHS) is a sleep-related respiratory disorder that poses a global threat to human health. Chronic intermittent hypoxia (CIH) is its main pathological feature. With the advancements in medical research, the study of CIH-induced neural injury has gained increasing attention. Studies have shown that CIH can lead to or aggravate neuroinflammation and apoptosis by increasing blood-brain barrier (BBB) permeability, promoting oxidative stress, activating glial cells, and triggering multiple signaling pathways, ultimately resulting in neural injury. These processes contribute to the development of Alzheimer's disease, Parkinson's disease, and stroke. This review aims to summarize the progress in CIH-induced neural injury and explore various underlying mechanisms, with the goal of providing new insights for the development of therapeutic interventions targeting CIH-related neural damage.
