I can't say what your are but I do have multiple white areas that are referred to as infacts. They are small areas in the brain where strokes have left visual damage. While the vast majority of my strokes are TIA's they do not leave visible damage in the brain. When I have stroke or CVA's then there will usually be visible damage in the brain and they shows as white spots. Only your dr. And radiologist can actually answer your question. Sorry. Stay well, stay strong!
