Can You Please Help Me Understand The Following MRI Report?

See detailed answers below.
Detailed Answer:
Hello dear, welcome to Ask A Doctor service.
I read your query and here is my advice.
This MRI report shows that your olfactory nerve, the nerve of smell, is normal in all his length and in the bulb ( brain part where the nerve starts).
You have mild sinusitis, inflammation of sinnuses.
You also have a mucosal cyst on left sinuses.
All over your brain are microvascular foci which are signs of degenerative chronic disease of the brain. No acute disease like stroke, hemorrhage.
The lack of smell you are suffering from comes as a result of mild congestion of your sinuses also the chronic brain issue.
Hope I have answered the question.
Let me know if I can assist you further.

Hello dear and thank you for asking again.
Some types of degenerative brain disease that cause focal necrosis are, multiple sclerosis, Alzheimer's, dementia, amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, etc...
Sometimes these changes can be related to brain aging process.
It'll be better to visit a Neurologist for confirmation of the exact diagnosis.
