Non-specific: Assuming this is on an MRI, it’s a relatively non-specific finding which can be found in diagnoses as varied as hypertension, diabetes, Lyme disease, MS and migraine headaches. Really depends on your age, medical history and symptomatology. This finding really can’t be properly interpreted in isolation.
