Please advise what is the meaning of " lacunar infarct in left periventrikuler and brainstem infark"?

Location of stroke: A lacunar infarct is a small stroke, usually deep in the brain matter. Periventricular means near the ventricles also deep in the brain. A stroke in the brainstem may affect functions not under conscious control(breathing, swallowing).
