Welcome to health care magic.

1.Your report suggests there are multiple lacunar infarcts in both thalamus, basal ganglia and periventricular region old ones.
2.Fresh infarcts are seen at the left high parietal region ( absence of blood supply).
3.This can be seen in a age related patient with small vessel ischemic changes.
4.Could be due to systemic causes like diabetes, hypertensive, vascular and blood pathologies.
5.Treatment in this case to correct the underlying medical condition and medications for blood thinning if required.

Good luck.
Hope i have answered your query,
any thing to ask ? do not hesitate to ask.
