dc.description.abstractBackground/aim: Individuals with multiple sclerosis (MS) may experience various speech-related issues, including decreased speech rate, increased pauses, and changes in speech rhythms. The purpose of this study was to compare the volumes of speech-related neuroanatomical structures in MS patients with those in a control group. Materials and methods: The research was conducted in the Neurology and Radiology Departments of Malatya Training and Research Hospital. The records of patients who presented to the Neurology Department between 2019 and 2022 were examined. The study included the magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) findings of 100 individuals, with 50 in the control group and 50 patients with MS, who had applied to the hospital in the specified years. VolBrain is a free system that works automatically over the internet (http://volbrain. upv.es/), enabling the measurement of brain volumes without human interaction. The acquired images were analyzed using the VolBrain program. Results: As a result of our research, a significant decrease was found in the volume of 18 of 26 speech-related regions in MS patients. It was determined that whole brain volumes decreased in the MS group compared to the control group. Conclusion: In our study, volume measurements of more speech-related areas were performed, unlike the few related studies previously conducted. We observed significant atrophy findings in the speech-related areas of the frontal, temporal, and parietal lobes of MS patients.
