Hi,
There are few changes in the brain matter as mentioned in the report .However one needs to know the clinical history also to comment on the possible cause of these changes.
These changes as mentioned by the radiologist could be non specific or due to degenerative ,ischemic reasons.Hence this report would require clinical correlation for confirm diagnosis.
Regards
