A member asked:
Mild genaralized atrophy and chronic white matter ischemic changes in my mom report is it serious matter please tell me?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Maybe: Mild general atrophy can be seen on ct scans of people with or without symptoms. Chronic white matter ischemic changes can also be seen in symptomatic or asymptomatic people. Be sure your mom gets checked for obstructive sleep apnea, diabetes, hypertension and high cholesterol. These can cause ischemic changes.
