Detailed Answer:
Hi,

Thank you for posting your query.

I am Dr Sudhir Kumar, Neurologist and would try my best to help you.

White spots on the MRI are non-specific in most cases. and moreover, they do not represent any serious brain disease.

The commonest cause of white spots include migraine. However, in many people, there is no specific disease.

I hope my answer helps. Please get back if you have any follow up queries or if you require any additional information.

Wishing you good health,
