Hi Keith

I’m 73. MRI wasn’t done for CSVD but for a glioma in the tectal plate originally ‘discovered’ in 2020 and had had no further MRI’s since then. That MRI didn’t show sign of CSVD.

So saw a neurologist who
compared my new MRI to the other one and said it was nothing of significance and wasn’t sure it was a glioma.

However he showed me the CSVD. I know morning about brains and all I can say it looked like 3 white dots on the left side and 3 on the right side. He said it was mild-moderate. I now wearing a 24 hour monitor for my blood pressure and he may have to increase/change my meds.

I can’t answer your other questions sorry.

Have been freaking myself by looking it up and imagining the worst!

Symptoms - not sure. I’ve suffered for years from anxiety and depression but don’t think it’s related? Otherwise nothing else I can think of.

Please share your story but be kind!

Thanks
