Hello, Periventricular is just an area of the brain. So the diagnosis meant that it was this area of the Brian which got involved in the mini stroke you had. Its more common in hypertensive patients. However, it can happen normal population because of aging or variety of other reasons. The treatment remains the same as per other types of stroke. Regards
