Subsegmentation of the hippocampus in subgroups of migraine with aura patients: advanced structural neuroimaging study.

ABSTRACT:

Background

This study investigated for a possible contributing role of hippocampus in the different clinical phenotypic manifestations of migraine aura.

Methods

Herein, patients were categorized as those with pure visual aura (MwAv), those who reported additional somatosensory and dysphasic symptoms (MwAvsd), and healthy controls (HCs). Neuroimaging data obtained using FreeSurfer-based segmentation of hippocampal subfields were compared between HCs and patients with migraine with aura, as well as between HCs and those with MwAv and MwAvsd. The average migraine aura complexity score (MACS) was calculated for each patient to investigate the correlation between hippocampal subfield volume and migraine aura complexity.

Results

Herein, 46 patients with migraine with aura (
