Causes of periventricular white matter lesions: Casues of periventricular white matter (PWM) lesions include normal senescent changes (then they are called UBO's, for unidentified bright objects), small strokes, and disorders related to multiple sclerosis (MS).PWM are correlated with vitamen B6 (pyridoxine) deficiency.Silbert et al, 2012). Only a 3% burden of leukoaraiosis (white matter lesion percent of brain) is enough to reduce working memory scores 2 standard deviations (Price et al, 2012). A 3% burden on MRI, is the amount of PVM usually called mild on MRI reports.
