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