Neurologist,  's  Response
Hi,

Thank you for posting your query.

First of all, I would like to reassure you that these MRI brain findings do not represent any serious neurological disease.

These are common in people with migraine.

They can also occur in ischemia-lack of blood flow to brain, due to risk factors such as high blood pressure, high blood sugars or cholesterol.

There are good medicines for treating your problem, so, please discuss with your doctor.

I hope my answer helps. Please get back if you have any follow up queries or if you require any additional information.

Wishing you good health,

Dr Sudhir Kumar MD (Internal Medicine), DM (Neurology)
