I hope your mother has had a thorough evaluation by a neurologist. If she has already had several strokes by the age of 49, the future does not look bright for her. I assume in addition to the MRI, her doctors have looked at her heart and carotid arteries as a source of the stroke. I hope this has been useful. Feel free to write back with further questions.
