Abstract
Aim: In this study, we aimed to assess thicknesses of retinal nerve fiber layer (RNFL) and ganglion cell complex (GCC) in patients withepisodic migraine and to compare data between from patients with migraine and healthy individuals.Material and Methods: The study included 44 eyes (right) of 44 patients with migraine who presented to neurology outpatientclinic and 54 eyes (right) of healthy individuals. In patients with migraine (with identified subtypes), demographic and clinicalcharacteristics, Visual Analog Scale (VAS) and Migraine Disability Assessment Scale (MIDAS) results were recorded. After detailedophthalmological examination, RNFL and GCC thicknesses were measured with optical coherence tomography (OCT) (Carl ZeissMeditec AG, Jena, Germany, software version: 6.5.0.773). The values obtained were compared between groups. The correlationbetween VAS and MIDAS scores and RNFL and GCC thicknesses were assessed.Results: Mean age was 36.05±8.84 years in migraine group and 32.89±10.89 years in control group. Mean time of follow-up was5.50±3.42 years in patients with migraine. No significant differences were detected in mean RFNL and GCC thicknesses from allquadrants (p>0.05 for all). It was found that VAS and MIDAS scores were negatively correlated to mean RNFL thicknesses in temporaland inferior quadrants (p
