Encephalomalacia, anyone?

Hello,

I have been having migraines since about April that last 3-4 days, chronic fatigue, memory problems that shouldn’t be there because I’m only 30. I had a closed brain fracture at the age of 4 years old, over 26 years ago. On a recent MRI that I had I was diagnosed with encephalomalacia in the frontal lobe of brain that spreaded bilaterally. Anyone know why this progresses? What makes it stop? Comparing it to the MRI from 2018 it was very minimal volume loss. Now it’s progressed to this diagnosis. Any have any similar symptoms? Please anything would help. Thank you

Have you had any known mini-strokes or stroke symptoms recently or over the years?

I was hit by car 12 years ago. Driver ran a red light and T-Boned me on my mountain bike. I have 4 plates in my face and skull. I've been having migrains in the left side of my face, my eye and the left side of my forehead. I was diagnosed with Encephalomalacia but nobody can tell me why this massive pain is occurring. I do have an appointment with the Nuerologist on April 16th to hopefully get answers because at this time, I'm not much to go on? Help!!
