Please mention age of patient and any history of vascular risk factors like hypertension , diabetes. Considering MRI ffindings we should start tab aspirin and tab atirvastatin in adequate doses. Symptoms will depend on vascular ischemic load which will progress gradually. Control hypertension and diabetes if present.Hope my advice will help you. Take care. Don't forget to rate me.
