Hello
CT scan report indicate mild cerebral cortical atrophy.This is age related finding and it is expected in all persons.It develops due to aging.
With aging there is shrinkage of brain parenchyma and this allows CSF to expand.This is the reason for widening of CSF spaces.
This is a benign conditions and dosn't require any treatment.It is not a serious condition.
Get well soon.
Take Care
