In the patients older than 40 years old with complaint of headache, the imaging methods are more necessary than the youngers and the imaging will be more suitable with IV contrast agents due to probable mass lesions like menengiomas.

Abstract

Objective: Our aim was to compare the findings of the patients with the complaint of headache with the literature retrospectively. Material and Methods: Between May 2006 and May 2014, the cranial MRI findings of 1000 patients who were admitted to our hospital with complaint of headache was interpreted retrospectively and classified into age categories. Results: We classified the patients into three groups (5-20 ages, 21-40 ages, patients older than 41 years old). In the first two groups the most common MRI findings were normal cranial MRI findings, and the second one was sinusitis. The rate of sinusitis, is the most common pathology in the group of patients younger than 40 years, is 17% in the group of 5-20 ages and 10% in the group of 21-40 ages. In the group of patients older than 40 years old the most common cranial MRI findings were milimetric T2 and flair hyperintense lesions in the periventricular white matter (49.9%). The second most common findings were mass lesions for this group. The secondary headache rate in this group was set at 21.3%. Conclusion: In our study results are consistent with literature as the patients who are older than 40 years old had headache secondary to reasons such as tumor or ischemia more common than the young patients. In the patients older than 40 years old with complaint of headache, the imaging methods are more necessary than the youngers and the imaging will be more suitable with IV contrast agents due to probable mass lesions like menengiomas.

Özet

Amaç: Başağrısı şikayetiyle başvuran hastalarda çekilen kraniyal manyetik rezonans görüntüleme (MRG) tetkiklerini retrospektif inceleyerek literatürle karşılaştırmayı amaçladık. Gereç ve Yöntem: Mayıs 2006-Mayıs 2014 tarihleri arasında hastanemiz polikliniklerine başağrısı şikayetiyle başvuran ve kraniyal manyetik rezonans görüntüleme incelemesi yapılan 1000 hastanın görüntüleri retrospektif olarak incelendi ve yaş gruplarına göre gruplandırıldı. Bulgular: Hastaları 5-20, 21-40, 41 yaş ve üstü olmak üzere 3 gruba ayırdık. İlk 2 grupta en sık olarak normal kraniyal MRG inceleme bulguları, ikinci sırada ise sinüzit yer alıyordu. Kırk yaş altı grupta rastlanan en sık patoloji olan sinüzit oranı 20 yaş altı grupta %17, 21-40 yaş arası grupta ise %10 olarak saptandı. Kırk yaş üstü grupta ise en sık tanımlanan lezyon periventriküler derin ak maddede T2 ve FLAIR ağırlıklı sekanslarda milimetrik hiperintensiteler idi (%49.9). Bunu 2. sıklıkta kitle lezyonları takip ediyordu. 40 yaş üstü grupta sekonder başağrıları olan hastaların oranı %21.3 olarak belirlendi. Sonuç: Çalışmamızda literatürle uyumlu olarak 40 yaş üstü grupta tümör, iskemi gibi sekonder bir nedene bağlı başağrısı sıklığı artmış olarak bulunmuştur. Kırk yaş üstü grupta başağrısı nedeniyle başvuran hastalarda görüntüleme yöntemlerine daha sık ihtiyaç duyulmaktadır ve olası menenjiom gibi patolojilerin demonstrasyonu açısından incelemenin kontrastlı yapılması daha uygun olacaktır.
