Ischemic stroke (IS) remains a serious threat to human health. Neuroinflammatory response is an important pathophysiological process after IS. Circular RNAs (circRNAs), a member of the non-coding RNA family, are highly expressed in the central nervous system and widely involved in regulating physiological and pathophysiological processes. This study reviews the current evidence on neuroinflammatory responses, the role of circRNAs in IS and their potential mechanisms in regulating inflammatory cells, and inflammatory factors affecting IS damage. This review lays a foundation for future clinical application of circRNAs as novel biomarkers and therapeutic targets.
