My brain MRI results?

I recently had a brain MRI which showed numerous white matter hyperintensities in the frontal lobe subcortically (total of 10 small lesions). I was told they are nonspecific but am wondering if they could be due to an autoimmune condition such as Lupus?

That is one of many possibilities. The findings are also seen with migraine headaches. I would discuss with your doctor, see if you need further testing and repeat the MRI in 6 months.
