What Is Mild Scattered Periventricular An Dsubcortical T2 Intense White Matter Foci?
I have memory issues. What is mild scattered periventricular an dsubcortical T2 intense white matter foci? I have quite a few migraines. I was prescribed Exelon 4.6 mg patch. I was 48 at the time of starting medication. Parent had mental issues but, have no idea what they were. Presently my memory issues are coming back. Recently started a job and was unable to remember from day to day how to utilize computer with instructions.
Your memory loss needs to be evaluated. Detailed neuropsychological assessment would confirm or exclude whether or not you have dementia.
Exelon (rivastigmine) is a medicine used for treating dementia due to Alzheimer's disease (AD). So, I would wait before starting exelon patch and start it only if you have AD.
MRI brain findings in your case are non-specific and are most likely due to your past migraine.
I hope my answer helps. Please get back if you have any follow up queries or if you require any additional information.
Wishing you good health,
