Hello,

Brain cells always myelinated. In this case, there is demyelination is there may be due to blood supply block lead to ischemia or inflammation lead to demyelination or infection lead to demyelination or injury to head lead to demyelination.

Until clinical examination is done it is difficult to say what it is. So please consult your neuro physician he will examine and treat you accordingly.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Take care
