Peripheral and Central Smell Regions in Migraine Patients using Mara ? Powder (Smokeless Tobacco): A Magnetic Resonance Imaging Evaluation

Conclusion?We concluded that the peripheral smell region of the OB volume decreased in migraine patients (using or not using Mara? powder). However, the central smell region of corpus amygdala area decreased in Mara? powder using migraine patients. Mara? powder usage may increase vascular shrinkage, and the decrease in OB volume and corpus amygdala area becomes prominent. It can be said that Mara? powder usage may cause a size decrease in the peripheral and central smell regions in migraine patients. Therefore, migraine patients and non-migrainous people should be noticed for the harmful effects of Mara? powder on the vascular system and smell system in the aspects of OB volume and corpus amygdala area decrease.
