Hi,
This report means there are small changes in the deep brain. The may be possibly like tiny small blood clots (stroke) or MS, or sometimes such change is produced with chronic headaches like a migraine etc. That's how the report reads. Rest we need to correlate to history and examination as what among these three be the possible one.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
