The findings that you have mentioned indicate that there is a history of strokeinfarction that have happened earlier and the changes that you are seeing now in the MRI are the after effects which happens after the stroke. This is the natural process which happens in the brain after the stroke happens. Wishing you good health. If you have any further questions please feel free to contact me. Best regards.
