What does this mean,there is a small old appearing cortical infarction in the superior anterior right cerebellar hemisphere superiorly?

Prior stroke: The films are indicative of older cerebral lack of blood flow causing a small stroke. Since this has occurred, there is risk of future stroke, and underlying cause should be sought. Consideration for medication to prevent further strokes very pertinent. Time to have full neurological evaluation.
