Periventri white matter small ischemic
Hello, I'm 43 years old, female. Took an mri of the brain today to check for pituitary tumor as my prolactin was high. It was all fine. However the report said "periventricular white matter small ischemic changes". I'm non diabetic, bp is normal, generally in good health, within bmi as well. I wanted to know if this was something I need to worry about or I can observe. Attached the report here. It would be great if you can let me know if this is something dangerous and worrisome at the moment and needs to be treated. My other doctor who's a gynecologist mentioned that is not worrisome but is best to check with a Neurologist. Thank you in advance.
