A member asked:
2-3 chronic ischemic gliotic foci were observed in the periventricular subcortical white matter. what does this mean on an mri?

In the absence of clinical correlation, it is NOT feasible to provide accurate response. The description may be correlated with prior small strokes (microvascular angiopathy), prior head injury, even migraine, smoking, etc. Ask the physicians currently involved in your care.
