MRI Interpretation

I have been having headaches and my history is BC 5 yrs ago, so my nuerologist did a brain mri, and I got my report and I don't understand, "a few foci of subcortical white matter signal alteration are seen and may indicate areas of previous small vessel ischemic injury or demyeliniation."  Every thing is else normal, with some patchy opacification of the mastoid air cells on the left inferiorly.
I don't understand what that means? Any help would be greatful. thanks kstknkc

Wobbly is right. A neurologist needs to translate. I would try not to worry about it.

you really should have the Neuro go over the report with you...it shows changes but it could mean different things... a specialits really should go over it and explain what it could mean..
