43 f, brain ct says - concerning for subcortical infarcts vs demyelinating process.mri shows multifocal areas of white matter signal abnormality/lesion in both cerebral hemispheres. negative intracranial mra. what does all this most likely mean ?

Since there is a large choice of correlations, would recommend additional blood studies and a lumbar puncture to clarify. Whether the MRI would be consistent with multiple sclerosis, Devic's, lupus, etc. remains to be established. An experienced neurologist needs to be involved.
