Sumario:Migraine is a complex and common disorder that affects patients around the world. Despite recent advances in this field, the exact pathophysiology of migraine is still not completely understood. Structural MRI sequences have revealed a variety of changes to brain parenchyma associated with migraine, including white matter lesions, volume changes, and iron deposition. This Review highlights different structural imaging findings in various types of migraine and their relationship to migraine characteristics and subtypes in order to improve our understanding of migraine, its pathophysiologic mechanisms, and how to better diagnose and treat it.
