Hi, Both the features of the MRI can produce the dizziness, If it is due to the sinusitis , it can effect the internal ear, and cause dizziness, it can be cured by the medicines, in a short time.
If the dizziness is due to the ischemia, it will take more time for recovery. So i advise you to consult a physician for diagnosis and treatment.
Thank you.

Hi
Thanks for using Health Care Magic Forum,
Casues of periventricular white matter (PWM) lesions include normal senescent changes (then they are called UBO's, for "unidentified bright objects), small strokes, and disorders related to multiple sclerosis (MS). PWM are correlated with vitamen B6 (pyridoxine) deficiency.
Getting older: Age is certainly the single most common cause of PWM. This is presumably a "wear and tear" phenomenon.
Small strokes: A period of hypertension is a common cause. In the authors experience, just a few days of extreme hypertension may be enough. This might suggest that small bleeds are the cause in some. Clinical studies also show association with diabetes, but not consistently with atherosclerosis. PWM are often an accompaniment of migraine, and occur in roughly 20% of persons with migraine. As about 10% of the population has migraine, this means that about 2% of the population has white matter lesions due to migraine. PWM are also more common in persons with frequent syncope and orthostatic intolerance
