Migren hastalığı ile kafa tabanı açıları arasında bir ilişki var mı?
Amaç: Migren hastalarında, manyetik rezonans görüntülerine göre kafa tabanı açılarında değişkenliğin olup olmadığının belirlenmesi amaçlandı.Gereç ve Yöntem: 18-50 yaş aralığında 65 migren tanılı ve 65 kontrol grubu olmak üzere toplam 130 manyetik rezonans görüntüleri retrospektif olarak incelendi. Migren ve kontrol grubu arasında modifiye bazal açı, klivo-aksiyal açı manyetik rezonans görüntülerde tek radyolog tarafından ölçüldü. Gruplar arasında karşılaştırmada bağımsız t testi kullanıldı. P <0.05 istatiksel olarak anlamlı olarak kabul edildi. Ayrıca baziler invajinasyon (McGregor ve Chamberline hattına göre) açısından değerlendirme yapıldı.Bulgular: Migren grubu 13 erkek, 52 kadındı (yaş ortalaması erkek 30.38±11.5, kadın 32.54±9 yıl). Kontrol grubu 15 erkek, 50 kadındı (yaş ortalaması erkek 34.4±8.6, kadın 33.14±9.7 yıl). Migren grubunda; modifiye bazal açı ortalaması 123.78±6.06°, klivo-aksiyal açı ortalaması 142.65±8.73°’idi. Kontrol grubunda; modifiye bazal açı ortalaması 121.6±5.5°, klivo-aksiyal açı ortalaması 153.66±6.35°’idi. Gruplar arasında anlamlı farklılık saptandı (p <0,05). Her iki grup için cinsiyetler arasında farklılık saptanmadı. Ayrıca migren grubunda; 3 hastada McGregor hattına göre ve 2 hastada McGregor ve Chamberline hattına göre baziler invajinasyon izlendi. Kontrol grubunda baziler invajinasyon saptanmadı. Sonuç: Migren hastalarında, manyetik rezonans görüntülerine göre kafa tabanı açılarında (modifiye bazal açı ve klivo-aksiyal açı) değişiklikler görülmektedir.
Is there a relationship between migraine disease and the skull base angles?
Aim: The aim of the study was to determine whether there were variability in the skull base according to magnetic resonance images in migraine patients.Material and Method: A total of 130 magnetic resonans images, including 65 migraine and 65 control groups were retrospectively in the age range 18-50 years. Modified basal angle (MBA), clivo-axial angle in migraine and control groups were measured by a radiologist in magnetic resonans images. The independent t test was used to compare between the groups. The level of significance was set at p < 0.05. In addition, basilar invagination (according to McGregor and Chamberlain line) was evaluated.Results: The migraine group was 13 male, 52 female (mean age of male 30.38±11.5, mean age of female 32.54±9 years). The control group was 15 males, 50 females (mean age of male 34.4 ±8.6, mean age of female 33.14±9.7 years). In the migraine group; the modified basal angle average was 123.78 ± 6.06° and the clivo-axial angle average was 142.65 ± 8.73°. In the control group; the modified basal angle average was 121.6 ± 5.5° and the clivo-axial angle average was 153.66 ± 6.35°. Significant differences were detected between the groups. There was no difference between the genders for both groups. In the migraine group; according to McGregor line in 3 patients and McGregor and Chamberlain line in 2 patients, basilar invagination was observed. Basilar invagination was not detected in the control group. Conclusion: Changes in the skull base angles (modified basal angle and clivo-axial angle) are observed in migraine patients according to magnetic resonance images.
