Özet
Background: We compared the choroidal thickness (CT), peripapillary retinal nerve fibre layer thickness (pRNFLT) and macular ganglion cell complex thickness (mGCCT) by using spectral domain optic coherence tomography (SD−OCT) in patients with migraine with aura (MWA), migraine without aura (MWoA), and healthy controls. Methods: Thirty-seven patients with MWA, 40 patients with MWoA, and age and sex-matched 50 healthy controls were included in this cross-sectional study. CTs at fovea, nasal to fovea and temporal to fovea, global pRNFLT, four quadrants of pRNFLTs, mGCCTs in superior and inferior hemisphere were measured by SD−OCT. The duration of migraine, monthly attack number and the migraine disability assessment (MIDAS) questionnaire scores were recorded. Results: The mean foveal CT, nasal CT, and temporal CT in patients with MWA were significantly thinner than those of patients with MWoA and control (p < 0.001) while CTs of patients with MWoA were similar with those of controls. Patients with MWA and MWoA had thinner global pRNFLT, superior and inferior pRNFLT compared to controls but there were no significant differences between two migraineurs groups. Only nasal quadrant of pRNFLT was significantly thinner in patients with MWA than other groups. The superior and inferior mGCCTs were significantly thinner in patients with MWA and MWoA than controls. Conclusion: Our results suggested that dysregulation of blood flow in ocular tissues caused by impairment of autoregulation in migraine. Patients with MWA might have an additional risk of choroidal and retinal ischemia than patients with MWoA and healthy controls.
