Hello Thank you for trusting Chat Doctor Major causes of periventricular white matter (PWM) lesions include normal changes from aging (then they are called UFOs, for unidentified bright objects), small strokes, and disorders related to multiple sclerosis (MS). PWM are also correlated with vitamin B6 (pyridoxine) deficiency. Usually clots to brain origin from carotid artery atherosclerosis with thrombosis. Other causes like cardiac problems may cause this problem (atrial fibrillation, dilated cardiomyopathy, valvular disease of heart etc...). Keep healthy heart, keep healthy blood vessels, if your carotid Doppler shows already a thrombus then you have to take antiplatelet adhesion Chat Doctor.
