Hello,

The MRI result means that there are areas in your brain which get less oxygen-rich blood “delivered” than normally expected. The reason is an issue with the most tiny blood vessels in these brain region. As long as it doesn’t cause symptoms, it’s not the end of the world. Talk with your neurologist about your fears regarding this when you have your next scheduled appointment. Don’t worry too much, please.

Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Marius Lazar, Dermatologist
