I went to the er because of a possible stroke. everything went fine but the doctor didnt explain any of my results to me. i was wondering what having a mild atrophy with associated increasing size of the lateral ventricles meant. thank you?

Most likely at age 33 yrs., the "mild atrophy" does not represent a degenerative process but rather dehydration or artifactual imaging. Best to discuss the interpretations with your regular doctor who knows you best.
