Is mild diffuse cerebral atrophy normal?

What is mild diffuse cerebral atrophy? Is it normal or not?

1 Answer

Answered on 26th Dec '24

Mild diffuse cerebral atrophy is considered a small decrease in brain volume that can come up in the course of natural aging or because of different factors like neurodegenerative diseases, nutritional deficiencies, or chronic stress. Symptoms may encompass memory disturbance, alterations in attention, or mild confusion. Atrophy is common to some extent, but considerable changes should be inspected by the neurologist. When you notice or feel any strange symptoms, don't hesitate; to contact a doctor for proper diagnosis and support.

He can't walk carefully he falls down,he can't set on the floor he set on chair,he can't speak clearly and he is physically so weak he 7 years old.his weight is 17kg and his height is 105cm

Male | 7

Some kids have difficulty with movement and speaking clearly. This can stem from various reasons. One possibility for a child this age is a neuromuscular disorder, which affects the muscles and nerves involved in movement and speech. It's crucial to take the child to a pediatric specialist for tests to determine the exact cause. Meanwhile, ensure the child gets plenty of rest and proper nutrition. Avoid activities that risk falls or injuries. Addressing symptoms promptly helps the child feel better and stronger.

तीन चार दिन से सर दर्द कर रहा है गोली खाता हु तो बंद हो जाता है वापिस दर्द करने लग जाता है

Male | 20

This type of headache can develop for a number of reasons, such as stress, lack of sleep, displayed eye vision problems, or using it for work. For the accurate pinpointing of the cause of your headache, definitely seeing the doctor is a necessary procedure. Aqueorin and similar drugs can provide relief from tension headaches, but the use of too much steaminofen is not a permanent solution.

Dear Sir, Below i am sending my father MRI report, kindly guide me. MRI REPORT – BRAIN WITH CONTRAST TECHNIQUE: T1W Sagittal, DWI - b1000, ADC, GRE T2W FS Axial, MR Angiogram, FLAIR Axial & Coronal Post contrast images after administration of 5 ml of gadolinium contrast. OBSERVATION: The study reveals an intrasellar mass lesion, with enlargement of the right half of the anterior pituitary gland, extending to the suprasellar cistern. The mass lesion is predominantly isointense to gray matter on T1-weighted images. On T2-weighted images the mass is predominantly isointense to gray matter with internal areas of T2 hyperintensity suggestive of ?necrosis/cystic change. Dynamic postcontrast images revealed decreased/delayed enhancement of the mass lesion as compared to the rest of the pituitary gland. The mass lesion measures 1.2 AP x 1.6 TR x 1.6 SI cm. Superiorly the mass displaces the infundibulum to the left side. A clear CSF plane of cleavage is seen between the superior aspect of the mass lesion and the optic chasm. No significant parasellar extension of the mass lesion is seen. The cavernous segment of both internal carotid arteries show normal flow void. The mass causes mild thinning of the floor of the sella turcica, with slight bulge toward the roof of the sphenoid sinus. MR findings likely represent pituitary adenoma. Confluent and discrete areas of T2/flair hyperintensity are seen in bilateral supratentorial periventricular and subcortical deep white matter, likely representing nonspecific ischemic changes with a combination of leukoariosis, microvascular ischemic changes, lacunar infarcts and prominent perivascular spaces. Basal ganglia and thalami are normal. Midbrain, pons and medulla are normal in signal intensity. The cerebellum appears normal. Bilateral CP angle cisterns are normal. The ventricular system and subarachnoid spaces are normal. No significant midline shift is seen. The cranio-cervical junction is normal. Post-contrast images reveal no other abnormal enhancing pathology. Bilateral maxillary sinus polyps are noted.

I am suffering from diabetic neurotherapy which is on extreme level I had extreme burning in my nerves could u please suggest me something?

Male | 52

Diabetic neuropathy is a result of edema when your nerves are damaged by high blood sugar levels. Symptoms such as burning or tingling in hands and feet may be very uncomfortable. Your diabetes treatments along with the controlled blood sugar levels and exercising will bring down the pain. Follow your doctor's advice thoroughly so you will be feeling better soon.

Sar main neurological problem hai stroke ilaaj karana hai sar

पुरुष | 19

A stroke is a nervous system problem that can cause symptoms like weakness, difficulty speaking, and confusion. It happens when the brain is starved of oxygen due to a blocked blood vessel or a burst blood vessel. Stroke treatment varies and may include medications, therapy, or surgery. The best chance of recovery is if you get to the hospital as soon as possible.

Hello sir my mother is having paralyzed stroke and she is having nerves problem also kindly update me is it possible to operate

Female | 62

A paralyzed stroke is a condition where the blood supply to a certain part of the brain is minimal. This may, consequently, lead to nerve complications that can result in paralysis. Performing surgery on the brain in the case of stroke-related issues is rarely the first line of treatment after a stroke. Rather, the physicians place more emphasis on rehabilitation therapy to restore the patient's ability to walk and do everyday activities.

My baby was diagnosed with cp still waiting for MRI scan so I want stem therapy for her

Female | 2

CP could result from an injury to the brain before, during or after birth. Indications could be difficulty moving around, rigid muscles and lack of coordination. Although stem cell therapy is still under study, there is no enough evidence supporting its use in CP cases. Treatment plan should be guided by the results of an MRI scan. Let us wait for the scan and then we can talk about what to do next.
