White matter brain damage

A recent CT scan to diagnose headache cause on my left hemisphere showed a small area of white matter damage on the right hemisphere.  What does this mean and should any further testing be performed.  Thank you.

what type of damage are you talking about?  There is the damage from contussions/concussions, there is damage from demyelination, there is damage from atrophy.  We would need you to take some time and be more specific with your question. I hope we see you around with more details.
