Characteristics and clinical correlates of white matter changes in brain magnetic resonance of migraine females.

Objective: White matter hyperintensities (WMHs) were often found in migraine patients. The aim of study was to characterize WMHs, assess their prevalence, determine relationship to clinical symptoms and homocysteine levels in migraine females.

Methods: 69 women 38 with migraine without aura (MO), 31 with migraine with aura (MA) who underwent brain MRI with 1.

Clinical and morphological aspects of gray matter heterotopia type developmental malformations.

Background: Gray matter heterotopia (GMH) is a malformation of the central nervous system characterized by interruption of normal neuroblasts migration between the 7(th) and 16(th) week of fetal development. The aim of the study was the analysis of clinical symptoms, prevalence rate and the most common concurrent central nervous system (CNS) developmental disorders as well as assessment of characteristic morphological changes of gray matter heterotopia in children hospitalized in our institution between the year 2001 and 2012.

Material/methods: We performed a retrospective analysis of patients' data who were hospitalized in our institution between the year 2001 and 2012.

Diagnostic imaging and problems of schizencephaly.

Background: Schizencephaly is a rare developmental malformation of the central nervous system associated with cell migration disturbances. Schizencephaly can be uni- or bilateral and is divided into two morphological types. The cleft is defined as type I ("closed lips") if there are fused clefts in cerebral mantle.
