[|Human|] What is microvascular leukoencephalopathy?  Is it pre-Alzheimers?  Dementia?  I am 65 years young but an MRI 2 years ago showed this along with "scattered areas of high signal intensity in the deep white matter, particularly at the gray-white matter junction and centrum semiovale".  It also said I had "mild age-related atrophy.
[|AI|]  Hi, Thank you for posting your query. Your MRI brain findings are suggestive of ischemia (lack of blood flow to the brain). The common underlying risk factors for the same include high BP, sugar and cholesterol. There is a slightly higher risk of dementia, but not Alzheimer's disease. Treatment would involve using aspirin and controlling any risk factors. Please get back if you require any additional information. Best wishes, Chat Doctor. Ly/
