Not due to accident: this is not due to your accident. YOu need to see a Neurologist. Potential causes of this include long standing hypertension.

Unrelated: The preiventricular white matter disease is unrelated to the accident. As we age to a degree we all have a degree of brain loss. This happens at a capillary level and is essentially microscopic strokes. They are seen in everyone as they get older. If you smoke or have diabetes or HTN they will usually be more pronounced. However, it is a change we all get over time.

Likely pre-existing: not typical pattern of head injury Rather associated with smoking, hypertension, hardening of arteries, diabetes, MS
