What Does Cerebral Volume Loss , Chronic Micro Vascular Changes In MRI Indicate?
My mother, age 71, has been showing significant memory and cognitive functioning decline in the last 1.5 years. Her recent repeat MRI of the brain (last one was 9/2009) showed cerebral volume loss and chronic micro vascular changes ....is this consistent with age related decline or possibly something more serious?
