What Does The MRI Report Indicate?
Hi,
The MRI report says " Although non specific, the predominantly posterior periventricular and left parietal T2/Flair hyperintensity is likely the sequela of chronic small vessel ischemic disease.
Other than minimal maxillary mucosal sinus thickening, no cause to explain the patient's headaches

I read your question and I understand your concern.
It would have been useful if you had included also your age and medical history.
That report indicates narrowing of the small vessels in the brain which causes changes in the brain due to insufficient blood supply. I mentioned your age because it is a common process with aging so it could be considered normal if your age is advanced. It is not directly a cause for a headache.
In order to limit its advancement you should pay attention to risk factors for blood vessel impairment like high blood pressure, diabetes, smoking, high cholesterol and address them.
If you are young then other causes must be considered like connective tissue disease, hereditary conditions etc.
I hope to have been of help.
