∙ 9y agoCortical atrophy is a condition where the brain cells begin to deteriorate. Medical conditions that are related to this are Dementia and Alzheimerâ??s. Outside substances such as alcohol and drug use can also cause this condition.

How do you control the mild diffuse cortical atrophy?
the power of love
What is mild frontoparietal cortical atrophy?
Mild frontoparietal cortical atrophy is a condition characterized by shrinking of the frontal and parietal lobes of the brain. This can lead to symptoms such as difficulty with memory, problem-solving, and other cognitive functions. It is often associated with aging or neurodegenerative disorders.
What is mild diffuse atrophy?
It means a loss of neurons and the connections between them in the brain. Atrophy means loss of cells
What is the treatment for cortical atrophy of the brain?
There is no treatment for cortical atrophy of the brain; just support and nursing care.
What is cortical and central cerebral atrophy?
Ischemic Demyelination Sturge webers Hemiatrophy
What condition is characterized by cortical atrophy and loss of neurons in the parietal and temporal lobes?
Alzheimer's disease.
What does mild diffuse atrophy mean in a CT report?
There is some shrinking (atrophy) throughout (diffuse) the organ being studied and it is not severe (mild).
What is the end result of having cortical atrophy?
Cerebral atrophy is the loss of neurons from the brain and the connections between them. It can be widespread leading to shrinkage of the whole brain or focal at one point. It can occur due to several reasons: age, Alzheimer's disease, cerebral palsy, multiple sclerosis, Huntington's disease, ...etc.When the brain tissue shrinks.
What is severe corticol atrophy?
Severe cortical atrophy is also known as dementia. The symptoms of dementia are a progressive impairment of memory and intellectual function that is severe enough to interfere with the activities of daily living.
What does prominence of the cerebral cortical sulci mean?
It's a sign of (severe) cerebral atrophy. It's being seen on CT or/and MRI scans of the brain. Generalized sulcal prominence diffusely is consistent with diffuse brain atrophy.
What is frontal cortical atrophy as described with mild asymmetry at the level of the sylvan fissures?
Break it down into less intimidating portions: Frontal cortical- front half of the brain Sylvan fissures- these particular "wrinkles" in the brain seperates the frontal and temporal lobes Effectively the front portion of the brain is wasting away and there is an uneveness in the brain in the area that seperates the front and back portions. Best of luck for you and yours. That's a fairly rough Dx.
What is Moderate cortical atrophy and scattered areas of chronic ischemic white matter changes of the brain?
'Atrophy' just means a reduction in size, due to disuse or disease. The cerebral cortex is the grey-matter (outer layer) of the brain that contains the neural cell bodies; as opposed to the white-matter which contains myelinated axons coursing away from each cell body. 'Ischaemia' refers to oxygen starvation in the brain (e.g. from stroke). Cortical atrophy due to ischaemia is therefore a reduction in the grey-matter volume due to lack of oxygen, followed by axonal pruning.
