Hello
Thanks for writing to HCM
Few pin point ischemic foci (decreased blood supply) in both cerebral hemispheres white matter of brain typically involves small blood vessels.
You need monitoring of conditions that lead to ischemic changes like hypertension,altered lipid profile,diabetes mellitus.
You need investigations like routine hemogram,RBS,LFT,RFT,Lipid profile,ultrasound of abdomen.
Treatment of underlying etiology should be done.
Hope i have answered your query.
