@janabelleca From what you’re written it seems that your husband has some changes in white matter. White matter in the brain are the connections - pathways, and neurons - that connect one part of the brain to another. There can be different reasons for “leukoaraiosis” (white matter changes” and this is something that needs more investigation in order to figure out the treatment options. Has your husband seen a neurologist who specializes in memory? Is this why the CT scan (or MRI?) was ordered?

With short term memory problems it’s best to see a neurologist who specializes in memory. Your husband should also have cognitive testing performed and this is often done through a Memory Diagnostic Center.

What tests and information have you received so far other than what you wrote here?
