A member asked:
Are white spots on the white matter of your brain indicative of anything serious?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Numerous: Maybe nonspecific, a result of head and/or neck trauma, associated with migraine headaches, signs of prior stroke or atherosclerosis, present in multiple sclerosis, but also due to drugs, both prescription, and recreational, amongst many categories.
