SIGNIFICANT ABNORMALITY, ATTENTION NEEDED?

After having a MRI done of my husband's brain/brain-stem w/o contrast, the report says: SIGNIFICANT ABNORMALITY, ATTN NEEDED. 1. Nonspecific foci of abnormal T2/FLAIR signal subcortical deep white matter of both cerebral hemispheres. Differential considerations include gliosis and myelin loss. 2. No mass effect, obstructive hydrocephalus or intracranial hemorrhage. 3. paranasal sinus inflammatory changes. The septum pellucidum is midline. Bihemispheric subcortical and deep white matter predominantly periatrial abnormal T2/FLAIR signal is nonspecific.
His history for the scan was severe left side of brain headaches, facial twitching on the left side, left hand twitching, loss of balance, noise emanating from deep in brain, heart palpitations and racing heart beat, elevated blood pressure and dull persistent pain on right side over liver and memory loss.
These symptoms appeared after being injected with 3 different neuroleptics and have continued to be troublesome.  Do I need to be worried when this report says SIGNIFICANT ABNORMALITY, ATTENTION NEEDED?
What does all of this mean?
