Hi,
Thank you for posting your query.
I have noted the history and MRI brain impression. As mentioned, these findings are not specific for any one disease. The final diagnosis would depend on the clinical presentation, as well as the MRI findings.
The most likely diagnosis in your case would be ischemia- lack of blood flow to the brain. They can also be called as XXXXXXX strokes. Common risk factors for this are high BP, sugar and cholesterol. Aspirin tablets are useful in preventing stroke recurrence in future.
Other possibilities mentioned are infection and inflammation. In these conditions, fever and headache would be the main symptoms.
I hope it helps. Please get back if you have any more queries.
Best wishes,
Dr Sudhir Kumar MD DM (Neurology) XXXXXXX Consultant Neurologist
