Abstract

Migraine is one of the most common complaints encountered in neurology clinics. Accurate diagnoses of migraine are usually informed by the patient's history, and neuroimaging is only performed in cases of atypical or severe, medically intractable headache to rule out underlying pathologies. Our study aimed to identify the spectrum of brain magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) findings characteristic of chronic headache.
