A member asked:

I have a question . my mom have spots on her brain and the pain is at the back of her head . the doctor said the spots from headache. how so?

Unclear info: Spots on the brain is not a medical term. Headaches per se do not affect the brain. Brain disorders can cause headaches. It would be prudent to ask your doctor for an explanation.

Doc is correct: If your Mom has migraine, specific localized "spots" can be noted on MRI images.
