Many a times perventricular ischemic white matter changes are normal with age .So probably it may not be related with the Siezures..however if too much involving subcortical deep white matter also or confluent then it could be an issue. commonly hypertension or blood pressure can cause these changes.. Also they can cause memory disturbances if extensive. however Fazeka grade 1 is less significant. Grade 2 and above is more significant. seeing the MRI films would give better idea
