What is chronic white matter ischemia and what are the symptoms?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Vague finding: The best way to describe this, as blood vessels in your brain branch out and become smaller and smaller, the very smallest are prone to calcium build up and atherosclerotic disease as we age. This is what radiologists often report as chronic ischemic white matter disease on MRI. Just like with heart disease, some have it worse or earlier than others.
