摘要: Abstract Visual assessment of structural MRI is, by definition, normal in patients with juvenile myoclonic epilepsy (JME), a major subsyndrome idiopathic generalized (IGE). However, recent quantitative studies have shown abnormalities cortical and thalamic grey matter (GM) JME. Voxel-based morphometry (VBM) is fully automated, unbiased, operator-independent analysis technique that detects regionally specific differences brain tissue composition on voxel-wise comparison between groups subjects. Using VBM, we examined subcortical GM volume (GMV) 25 JME (15 women, mean age = 22.7 ± 5.1 years) age- sex-matched 44 control subjects (27 age = 23.1 ± 4.3 years). We also performed correlation to delineate possible relationship the GMV increases or reductions increasing duration epilepsy. Group showed superior mesiofrontal region bilaterally thalamus (P
