What does diffuse cerebral atrophy in MRI suggest?
Hello doctor,
My father-in-law is 60 years old. When we take an MRI of the brain, we notice diffuse cerebral atrophy.
Slight T2 flair hyperintensity with restricted diffusion was noted in the body of the corpus callosum on the left side, likely acute infarct.
Chronic infarcts were noted in bilateral lentiform nuclei, corona radiata, right centrum semiovale, bilateral thalami, pons and left cerebellar hemisphere.
Small T2/flair hyperintensities with no restricted diffusion were noted in bilateral frontoparietal periventricular and deep white matter.
Small vessel ischemic changes.
He is on BP medicines. Please help.
Thank you.
