Yes, every bump, thump or lump on the head you've ever had probably left behind some of these tiny white spots.
They're usually quite harmless.

The white spots are probably what is sometimes called small vessel disease. I also have these on my MRI and on both occasions was read as MS type plague. My neurologist than had a radiologist with a specialty in MS read the films and he said it was not MS but small vessel disease.
Nothing to be concerned about, just means your vessels are not as large as a normal person. It does increase your risk of suffering a stroke slightly.
