Our brain is like a peeled walnut. There are bulging folds and between folds are the grooves. These grooves are called suci. Mild prominenece of these suci are called mild sulcal prominence. Often such prominenece are noticed with age and these are attributed to normal aging. However, defects in the cerebellum may also called prominenece of the cerebral sulci.
What else can I help you with?
What is left ventricular prominence?
Mild ventricular prominence is a change in the structure of the ventricle due to disease like a tumor or inflammation. This is found both in the heart and in the ventricles of the brain.
How does the cerebral cortex change with aging?
Eventually, there occur both cortical atrophic changes along with sulcal widening and ventricular enlargement.
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 moderate to severe nonspecific sulcal prominence for age?
Moderate to severe nonspecific sulcal prominence for age refers to the widening of the brain's sulci (the grooves between the gyri) that is more pronounced than what is typically expected for a person's age. This finding can indicate age-related brain changes, potential neurodegenerative conditions, or other neurological issues. It is considered "nonspecific" because it does not point to a specific diagnosis but may warrant further investigation depending on accompanying symptoms or clinical context.
Mild calyceal prominence of palvicalyceal system of both kidneys means?
Mild calyceal prominence of palvicalyceal (pelvicalyceal) system of both kidneys means there is a slight increase in the storage of urine. It means the part of the kidneys where the urine collects before it leaves the kidney is enlarged.
What does mild prominence mean?
Mild prominence refers to a slight or moderate visibility or importance of a feature or characteristic. In various contexts, such as anatomy or design, it indicates that a particular element stands out to some degree but is not overwhelmingly pronounced. This term suggests that the feature is noticeable but does not dominate the overall perception or structure.
What does sulcal prominences in the brain of a 64 year old mean on an MRI report?
groove
What is Mild LVH on echo?
Mild left ventricular hypertrophy (LVH) on an echocardiogram indicates a slight thickening of the heart's left ventricular wall, often as a response to increased workload or pressure, such as from hypertension or athletic training. It is characterized by an increase in the mass of the left ventricle without significant impairment of its function. While mild LVH may not cause symptoms, it can be a marker for an increased risk of cardiovascular events if left unaddressed. Regular monitoring and lifestyle modifications may be recommended to manage underlying causes.
What does inadequate ventricular systole mean?
It is a defective ventricular contraction.
What does a ventricular shunt relieve?
A ventricular shunt relieves hydrocephalus
When does Isovolumetric relaxation and ventricular filling take place?
Ventricular Diastole
Does ventricular pressure increase the fastest during ventricular filling?
yes
