Hello ,
Peeiventricular is just an area of the brain . So the diagnosis meant that it was this area of the Brian which got involved in the mini stroke you had .
It's more common in hypertensivery patients . However it can happen normal population because of aging or variety of other reasons .
The treatment remains the same as per other types of stroke .
