What Does Few Punctate Loci In Periventricular White Matter On MRI Suggest?

After a car accident 3 months ago I ve had post concussion syndrome. MRI showed a few punctate foci of T2 prolongation involving the periventricular white matter and left centrum semiovale which are non specific and most likely represent gliosis. What does this mean.

A gliosis is a remnant of a previous injury, sort of like a scar in your brain. So it could be after the accident you mentioned. There is not much you can do and shouldn't worry too much about it as it shouldn't cause any serious problems.
