Whole brain surface-based morphometry study in subtypes of migraine with aura patients

Abstract

Little is known about the pathophysiologic basis of the clinical variability of migraine aura presentation. We were aimed to study intracerebral white matter fiber bundles, using a tract-based spatial statistics (TBSS) analysis of diffusion tensor imaging (DTI), and grey matter cortical thickness from structural magnetic resonance imaging data in migraine patients with pure visual auras (MA), and in patients with complex neurological auras (MA+), i.e. with the addition of at least one of sensory and language symptoms.
