Can Microvascular Ischaemic Gliosis Happen Due To Sleep Apnea?

Hello, summary of mri report indicates established microvascular ischaemic gliosis identified, most marked around the trogone of each lateral ventricle. What does this mean, and can it be treated? Note I have had untreated sleep apnea for decades, and now treated for 5 years. Could this be involved?

Regards.
