Hello

Generally gliosis is sequel of brain injury.Injury may be due to ischemia(decreased blood supply) or trauma etc.
Most likely it is due to ischemic changes(decreased blood supply) in your case as you have history of TIA.Ischemia generally involves small blood vessels.
It is important to investigate underlying cause like hypertension,diabetes mellitus,altered lipid profile etc.

You need regular monitoring of conditions that leads to ischemic changes like hypertension,altered lipid profile,diabetes mellitus.
So,you need proper clinical evaluation and treatment so that progression of lesions can be halted.

Take Care
