Dear Friend.
Hi , I am Dr Anshul Varshney , I have read your query in detail , I understand your concern.
White matter disease can be due to a type of dementia called as Binswanger DIsease.
No treatment as such is there for it.
Still i would recommend 4 vessel angiography and other routine investigations to see for any evidence of Transient Ischemic Stroke.
This is my personal opinion based on details available here. If you want to discuss your issues further, you may please ask us
Stay Healthy.
