What should I know if an MRI showed that I had mild Cerebral atrophy?

Answer by  Anu (20)

Mild cerebral atrophy means the size of the brain is smaller than the expected size for that age. Normally the size of the brain decreases due to aging, hence this symptom is not a serious condition if it is mild, except that the patient might experience mild memory loss problems.

Cerebral atrophy is found in the majority of people as they age. It usually progresses with severity as a person gets older. What is more important than the presence of atrophy is whether the degree you have is appropriate for your age.
