welcome to Health care magic.
1.That means there is a block in the blood vessels supplying to the superior temporal lobe.
2.This is seen in case of blood pathology, atherosclerotic plaque, thrombus - causes block / cessation of the blood supply.
3.Periventricular deep white matter ischaemic changes are age related changes seen in the brain scan due to narrowing of the vessels as age.
4.Rest all what your reports are negative - normal findings.
5.Thrombolysis is treatment of choice, and treat the underlying medical conditions lie hypertension / diabetes.
Hope it helps you. Wish you a good health.
Anything to ask ? do not hesitate. Thank you.
