Hi,

I have gone through your query.
Lesions on MRI finding are due to poor blood supply to affected area. This is causing you headaches. You haven't mentioned your age and and other history. It is difficult to comment on poor blood supply. This may be due to narrowing of blood vessels or emboli. You will require further investigations to rule out the causes. Consult a local neurologist for further examination.
