Sjögren's disease is an autoimmune disease that affects the body's glands. In this study, the volumes of many anatomical structures in the brains of female patients diagnosed with Sjögren's Syndrome (SS) were measured, and their neurological symptoms were evaluated. In our study, brain Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) of 21 female patients with SS and 34 healthy women were evaluated, and the volumes of some anatomical structures were measured. After calculating the volumes, it was determined that the total temporal lobe volumes, right temporal lobe volumes, and 4th ventricle volumes of patients with SS were significantly smaller compared to the control group. In SS patients, the volume of the right corpus amygdaloideum was found to be significantly smaller than the left side. Volume measurements of other anatomical structures, except vermis volume, wer..
