Question 1

sir, please suggest me , my father at the age of 65 years, he is suffering with diffuse cerebral volume loss with extensive deep white matter ischemia?

Accepted Answer

Neurology: Neurology is the specialty area of medicine that deals with brain dysfunction.
Get an appointment with a Neurologist to see what options are available. There are different causes of dementia, therefore the treatments depend on the cause.

Question 2

no acute intracranial findings. specifically no acute/subacute infarct. 2. mild cerebral volume loss, beyond expected for age ( what does impression 2 mean ? also, previous mri from 2 months ago was completely normal i was scene for a neck injury?

Accepted Answer

: "Mild cerebral volume loss" is a nonspecific observation which requires clinical correlation.  May be seen in early Alzheimer's and after repetitive head trauma, but also can be associated with dehydration, and sometimes, artifactual positioning during the imaging.  Discuss this with your doctor.

Question 3

what does mild cerebral parenchynal volume loss mean?

Accepted Answer

Damaged area: The volume loss represents the loss of tisdsue that has been damaged.  The volume of loss may not correlate with the intelligence of an individual or the degree of motor handicap.  You need to review the matter with a pediatric neurologist who can look at the neuroimaging with you to explain the significance.

Question 4

mri shows bi-frontal cerebral cortical volume loss & left middle ear inflammation of sinus what does all this mean? especially the volume level loss?

Accepted Answer

Mri: Sounds like you're reading a report from a study ordered by your doctor. Go and review the results with them and you will gain a better appreciation towards what the scanner saw in you and how it correlates with your problem.

Question 5

what does" brain shows greater than age-appropriate parenchymal volume loss" means?

Accepted Answer

Brain shrinkage: JMac - the brain usually shrinks as we age and there is a normal rate of shrinkage.That is called " age appropriate shrinkage" If there is more, it could be associated with early onset of dementia. If there are no symptoms and memory is ok dont worry. Brain shrinkage is not a good way to determine dementia. Mental tests are. See a doc if worried thx

Question 6

mri what does brain volume loss mean ?

Accepted Answer

Atrophy: 'volume loss' means that the brain has a smaller overall volume than normal. This is usually due to atrophy, which can be caused by small vessel atherosclerotic disease, alcohol intake, drug abuse, or a combination of the above.

Question 7

does long term use of prilosec cause brain volume loss?

Accepted Answer

: No, medications used for peptic ulcer disease and dyspepsia, and heartburn do not cause brain damage or cerebral atrophy.

Question 8

englargment of the anterior horn of the right lateral ventricle secondary to the brain volume loss from the resection  (meningioma tumor)   meaning?

Accepted Answer

The fluid in: The brain is bigger in a shift  from the loss of tissue from tumor removal

Question 9

i had an mri of the brain. i have 3 questions. what does "dwi negative" mean? what is "mild to moderate ventricular prominence and enlargement, consistent with aging related parenchymal volume loss?" last, what is "opacification left frontal sinus"

Accepted Answer

No major problem : 1 DWI negative is good.  the MRI technique is  called diffusion weighted imaging 
2.  most people as they get older tend to have some brain volume loss  This is a very common finding in nomal people.
3)  left frontal sinus reading may represent long-standing or new  sinus infection/inflammation.  If you are not having headaches above the left eye, have no fever or nasal discharge, do not worry.

Question 10

ct scan result -brain and posterior fossa demonstrate age related volume loss. is normal?

Accepted Answer

Eye of Beholder: The "eye ball" observation of "volume loss for age" is extremely subjective with much intra and interobserver variation. That means readers often don't agree and are sometimes not even consistent when the same reader re-examines an image twice.
Computer programs are being developed to analyse brain volumes accurately and precisely but are not in general clinical use yet.
My advice, don't sweat it.
