Abstract
Migraine is a common disorder in general population. Presence of white matter hyperintensities (WMHs) in brain MRI of migraine patients was not studied clearly. Detection of the prevalence of white matter hyperintensities in migraine patients determines its correlation with migraine severity, type and duration. Cross sectional analytic study was conducted on migraine patients attending neurology clinic Suez Canal University Hospital. Sixty-five patients with migraine aged from 18 to 50 years were included. We excluded smokers and patients with hypertension, cardiac disease, diabetes mellitus, endocrine dysfunction, oncological and hematological diseases, infectious diseases, demyelinating disorders, and Alzheimer disease. Brain MRI and laboratory investigation was done for all patients. White matter hyperintensities were significant more frequent in migraine with aura than those without aura. According to MIGSEV scale, white matter hyperintensities were highly significantly more frequent in grade III severity than grades II and I. The number of white matter hyperintensities increases significantly with increase intensity of pain during attack. The number of white matter hyperintensities increases significantly with increase int...Continue Reading
