Hello
Mild cerebral cortical atrophy is a irreversible condition and this condition itself doesn't require any treatment.
Generally this is age related finding and atrophic changes are seen in every person with aging.
However,atrophic changes may be seen early in many conditions like post meningitis,alcoholism,post trauma etc.
This condition only need symptomatic treatment and underlying should be treated in there is any such factor.
Get well soon.
