Summary

Epilepsy patients with migraine show distinct white matter (WM) damage, particularly axonal injury. Diffusion tensor imaging (DTI) reveals specific alterations in brain tracts, linking epilepsy to migraine pathogenesis.

Area of Science:

  • Neuroimaging
  • Neurology
  • Medical Physics

Background:

  • Patients with epilepsy (PWE) frequently experience migraine attacks.
  • Aberrant white matter (WM) organization is a potential mechanism linking epilepsy and migraine.
  • Understanding this comorbidity is crucial for patient care.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To quantify WM structural differences in PWE with interictal migraine using diffusion tensor imaging (DTI).
  • To investigate the role of WM organization in the comorbidity of epilepsy and migraine.

Main Methods:

  • Diffusion tensor imaging (DTI) data acquired from 13 PWE with migraine and 12 PWE without migraine.
  • Tract-atlas-based spatial statistics (TATS) and atlas-based/tract-based spatial statistics (TBSS) for diffusion metric analysis.
  • Exploration of correlations between DTI metrics and clinical parameters (seizure/migraine type and duration).

Main Results:

  • Axonal damage is a key factor in PWE with interictal migraine.
  • Significant diffusion alterations observed: higher fractional anisotropy (FA) in the fornix; higher mean diffusivity (MD) in the middle cerebellar peduncle (CP), left superior CP, and right uncinate fasciculus; higher axial diffusivity (AD) in the middle CP and right medial lemniscus.
  • DTI metrics showed a tendency to correlate with seizure and migraine type and duration.

Conclusions:

  • Characteristic structural impairments in WM exist in PWE with interictal migraine.
  • Epilepsy may contribute to migraine by altering brainstem WM.
  • WM tracts including the fornix and right uncinate fasciculus may mediate migraine in epilepsy patients.
