Do you think i should worry about minor frontal cortical atrophy ?

See below: Brain atrophy should be uncommon in your age. Frontal atrophy may indicate a prior trauma, ie bad car accident or a direct hit. It may also indicate potential dementia, metabolic problems or simply dehydration. Talk to your dr and or a neurologist for further help.
