| الوصف: | The digiti quinti sign (DQS) consists of a wider angle between the fourth and fifth fingers (ANG) indicative of subtle hemiparesis that has been found interictally in hemiplegic migraine (HM), suggesting a permanent subtle motor dysfunction. The aim of this study was to find a possible cortical origin for the DQS using blood oxygen level dependent (BOLD) functional (f) MRI.Eight HM patients and 13 controls entered the cross-sectional study. We examined hand dominance, performed handgrip tests with dynamometry, documented the DQS graphically in two consecutive sessions, and used BOLD-fMRI during a motor task specifically designed to measure the evoked activation in the motor cortex (M1). The brain activation at the symptomatic side was compared with the contralateral hemisphere and with both correspondent hemispheres in controls.Subjects had a normal neurological examination, except for DQS in all HM patients. The activation amplitude (beta values) and the cluster extension (mmThe DQS, a relevant clinical finding in HM, indicates a disrupted cortical activation. |
