Hello.
Thank you for contacting HCM.

The findings described in your MRI report are microvascular changes which are due to advancing age. They may be present in completely healthy individuals and need not to be worried about until and unless there are symptoms like loss of memory, altered sensation or muscle weakness in any part of the body, in which case I would suggest you consult your local neurophysician for detailed clinical evaluation and further management accordingly.

I hope this answers your question. Please feel free to contact HCM again if you have any concerns.
Wishing you good health.
