A member asked:
Is mild atrophy of both frontal lobes normal at 51, no symptoms? my gp said "perfectly normal at this age". is this bad/normal, should i be worried?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
It may be normal: Atrophy of frontal lobes can mean anything. You need to review this finding with a neurologist, who will also be able to perform a complete neurological history and examination. If you do not have any symptoms, then it is most likely nothing to be worried about.
