MRI findings: Greetings. Rest assured that the findings you are describing is a description of a normally aging brain. The MRI gives us great detail and descriptive images of soft tissue structures like the brain. Atrophy occurs as does the plaque buildup in our blood vessels as we grow older. These findings aren't causing Mom's vertigo. See your ENT. I hope his helps. Good Luck

Get clear diagnosis: First issue is to distinguish between vertigo of central vrs peripheral origin. Need to assure blood flow in vertebral/basilar vessels at base of brain. She does have a microvascular angiopathy, and could need medication to control stroke risks. Need to find out why the atrophy is so diffuse. Not clear to me that aging explains this. See neurologist.
