Abstract :

Background and objective of the study Enlargement of CSF spaces in patients of migraine has shown association in previous studies. The aim of the study was to examine widening/enlargement of the sulci in cases of non migrainous headache and to compare with controls to find an association between them using statistical analysis. Materials and Methods This prospective study included 300 patients in the age group of 20–40 years presenting with complaints of non migrainous headache. Maximum width of central sulcus, pre–central sulcus, post central sulcus and lateral sulcus on axial sections of CT scan was measured and compared with age– and sex–matched healthy subjects. Results: The mean value for cases (table 1) was 6.58 SD 1.678 and the mean value for controls was 1.57 SD 1.331. The sulcal width in cases was significantly larger than in cases with t test showing significance level (2–tailed) value <0.01 with mean difference of 5.013. Conclusion Our study showed significant correlation between the enlargement of CSF spaces in patients of non–migrainous headache
