Hi,
Thanks for writing in.
It is important to know your age and symptoms with durations. A small fluid density area in the lentiform nucleus area is most likely due to lacunar infarcts which may be a result of small vessel disease which may not have caused any symptoms in the past. Please do not worry but discuss your symptoms with a neurologist. After a complete neurological clinical examination you may be given certain medications to prevent strokes. Please take your medicines regularly.
