A member asked:
What does nonspecific subcortical and periventricular foci mean?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
It means: there are small areas of MRI signal changes in the white matter of your brain next to the ventricles and grey matter(cortex). Usually this is an incidental, age-related finding. Sometimes it can be a sign of other white matter diseases like MS. The finding has to be correlated with your clinical picture to assess the significance, so talk to your doc about the results.
