It means that the ventricles (fluid-filled spaces in the brain) and sulci (grooves on the surface of the brain) are more noticeable than expected for someone's age. Basically, the brain looks a bit more wrinkly and spacious than usual for that particular age group. It's not necessarily a cause for alarm, just something worth noting on a brain scan.

What mean if sulci gyri inter hemisperic fissure and both sylvian fissures are prominent?
Significant prominence of the sulci, gyri and fissures are indicative of a probable dementia process (such as Alzheimer's type, vascular type and many others). However, further testing would be needed to confirm this - and this type of testing is best done by a neuropsychologist (including interview, and several pencil and paper type tests).
What does effacement of sulci mean?
As the ventricles enlarge with CSF under pressure, the brain is squeezed with the result that the gyri come together…emptying the subarachnoid spaces (sulci) of CSF. Refers to condition of not being able to visualize sulci on CT.
What does global cerebral atrophy with prominence of the sulci and ventricles mean?
loss of neurons
What does prominence of the frontal sulci mean?
The prominence of the frontal sulci refers to the visible or distinguishable depth and definition of the grooves or furrows on the frontal lobes of the brain. Changes in the prominence of these sulci can sometimes indicate brain atrophy, aging, or certain neurological conditions. Evaluation of the frontal sulci can be part of a neuroimaging assessment to help detect abnormalities in the brain structure.
What does it mean by widening of sulci?
Widening of sulci refers to the increased size or space between the grooves on the surface of the brain. It can occur due to various reasons such as brain atrophy, cerebral edema, or hydrocephalus. Widening of sulci is often observed on brain imaging studies and can be an indicator of certain neurological conditions.
What does V-Tach and V-Fib mean?
Ventricle tachycardia and ventricle fibrilation
What does 'the diaphragm and sulci are intact' mean on a medical report?
Sulci is plural for a groove or fissure. A diaphragm is a muscle under the lungs that helps with berating. The statement, the diaphragm and sulci are intact, means that they are not damaged.
What does moderate generalized volume loss with prominence of the ventricles and cerebral cortical sulci mean?
The cerebral does moderate generalized volume loss with prominence of the ventricles and cerebral cortical sulci. It refers to the brain volume loss.
What does ventricle mean?
A concave/cavernous area of an organ is a ventricle. Like the hollow compartments in the heart.
Does the right ventricle have good or bad blood in it?
The right ventricle has deoxgenated blood in it if that is what you mean by "bad blood". The left ventrical has oxgenated blood in it, or what you mean by "good blood"
What the name of the opening that leads from the left autricle to the left ventricle?
you mean left atria to left ventricle? the bicusped/mitral valve
What does diacoele mean?
It means the Third Ventricle. (A medical term)
