TI  - Volumetric evaluation of hemicerebellar changes in migraine patients without 
      aura.
PG  - 235-9
AB  - Brain balance changes have been recognised in migraine, but cerebellar function 
      between or during attacks has been assessed only in a few studies. Previous 
      studies have indicated that migraine affects cerebellar function. In the present 
      study we aimed to evaluate the hemicerebellar volume changes of patients with 
      migraine without aura (MWoA). Volumetric changes of cerebellar hemispheres were 
      evaluated in terms of asymmetry using stereological methods on magnetic resonance 
      images (MRI) retrospectively. Nineteen patients with MWoA and 18 age- and 
      gender-matched control subjects were included in the study. MRIs were analysed by 
      using the point-counting approach of stereological methods by Cavalier's 
      principle. There was no statistically significant cerebellar atrophy or 
      hemicerebellar asymmetry between the MWoA and control subjects. There was no 
      cerebellar atrophy or asymmetry between the MWoA and age-matched control group. 
      The stereological evaluation of cerebellar asymmetry and atrophy in humans is 
      important for both clinicians and anatomists. The technique is simple, 
      inexpensive, and reliable.
