A member asked:
What do mild atrophic changes in brain parenchyma means?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Depends: Isolated atrophy (with no other findings on the scan) in a young person could be a sign of something serious, like a toxic exposure or inflammatory condition, and is seen in dementia. In much older adult patients this may be an expected (normal) finding.
