Brain MRI: Do findings possibly indicate small vessel brain disease?

Posted by sarah371 @sarah371, Jan 19 11:27am

Hello,

My recent brain MRI indicates 'moderate likely small vessel ischemic changes and moderate hyperintense T2/Flair signal of the corona radiata bilaterally'.

Do these findings possibly indicate small vessel brain disease that may be similar to my previously diagnosed coronary microvascular disease?

Thank you.

I have diagnosed with microvascular brain disease. I feel lightheaded, balance is off and just feel weak. Does anyone out there have these symptoms also? I am 71 years old and it's freaking me out

I’m 70 and have the same. Although not weak. These changes are pretty normal for aging adults. Keith is correct.
Keep a watch and maybe get an MRI every two years.

I have made a comment before. I microvascular brain disease. I do not know if if the disease making me feel light headed, lethargic and no energy. My sleep is insomnia. Could all of this be from the disease? No Dr. or neurologist has given me an answer. I am a Type 2 diabetic and 71 years old.
