Hello dear,
'multiple scattered small abnormal cerebral white matter ischemic lesions' described in your report are age related changes which are generally seen around sixties. These changes are more frequently seen in diabetic and hypertensive people. So, if you are diabetic or hypertensive, it is advisable to have better control over your disease. As these changes are age related, and rest of your brain findings are normal, there is nothing to worry about.
Retention cyst in maxillary sinus may be found in asymptomatic individuals, but if you have headache, this finding may be a culprit and it is advisable to consult to an ENT(ear, nose & throat) surgeon for the same.
