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 causes generalized cerebral volume loss?
Generalized cerebral volume loss, or brain atrophy, can be caused by various factors, including neurodegenerative diseases such as Alzheimer's and Parkinson's, traumatic brain injury, chronic alcohol abuse, and certain infections. Additionally, conditions that affect blood flow to the brain, such as stroke or vascular dementia, can contribute to atrophy. Aging is also a natural factor, as brain volume tends to decrease over time. Other potential causes include metabolic disorders and prolonged exposure to toxins.
What is diffuse global atrophy?
Diffuse global atrophy, or diffuse brain atrophy, is when the brain shrinks in size. It's more severe than the atrophy that occurs normally with aging.
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 global diffusion?
Diffuse global atrophy, or diffuse brain atrophy, is when the brain shrinks in size. It's more severe than the atrophy that occurs normally with aging.
What is brain atrophy?
Hardening/shrinkage of the left or right, or both hemispheres of the brain.
What is another name for pseudo hydrocephalus?
Brain atrophy
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 left brain atrophy?
Hardening/shrinkage of the left or right, or both hemispheres of the brain.
Is Alzheimer's disease a result of brain ventricular atrophy?
Yes
What is cortical and central cerebral atrophy?
Cortical cerebral atrophy refers to a loss of neurons in the cerebral cortex, the outer layer of the brain responsible for higher brain functions. Central cerebral atrophy involves shrinking of structures deep within the brain, such as the hippocampus and thalamus. Both types of atrophy can result in cognitive decline and neurological symptoms.
Use atrophy in a sentence?
"Don't let your brain atrophy from disuse over the summer," the techer warned his students on the last day of school.
