Welcome @kripto, there are several potential causes for brain lesions or white matter disease. Here is a short list from Mayo Clinic

kripto, you mentioned the MRI that showed these lesions was taken 2 years ago. Have you had further testing to discover potential causes? What has led your doctor to consider thrombosis as the cause and what further testing or treatment is being suggested?

Thank you very much for the reply and the additional information. I have not yet undergone further testing due to having no "obvious" symptoms. The doctor mentioned the thrombosis in the sense, that I should be tested for Patent Foramen Ovale (PFO) although I found a 6 year old Echocardiogram that didn't show any signs of an open foramen ovale (since then I have not yet seen my neurologist).
