Hello
Thanks for writing to HCM

Gliosis with encephalomalacia in brain is an irreversible condition and it doesn't require any specific treatment.
High signal intensities in white matter of brain may be related to ischemic changes resulting from involvement of small blood vessels,demyelination,gliosis etc.
Ischemic changes resulting from blood vessels changes in diseases like hypertension,diabetes mellitus,dyslipidemia.
So,you need monitoring of conditions that leads to ischemic changes like hypertension,altered lipid profile,diabetes mellitus so that further progression of disease can be halted.
You need investigations like routine hemogram,RBS,LFT,RFT,Lipid profile,ultrasound of abdomen.
Proper treatment depend upon findings.

Hope i have answered your query.
