Generalized prominence of ventricular system, sulci, and cisterns — suggestive of corticocerebral atrophym, dilated ventricles , enlargement ventricles.

MRI Finding Explained:

“Generalized prominence of ventricular system, sulci, and cisterns — suggestive of corticocerebral atrophy.”

Meaning in Simple Terms:

This statement means that on the MRI of the brain:

• The ventricles (fluid-filled spaces in the brain) are larger than normal

• The sulci (grooves on the brain surface) and cisterns (CSF spaces around the brain) are also widened

These changes indicate loss (shrinkage or thinning) of brain tissue (cortex and cerebrum) — called corticocerebral atrophy.

ymptoms (Depend on Severity & Cause):

• Memory loss

• Slowed thinking or confusion

• Difficulty walking or maintaining balance

• Personality or behavioral changes

• Speech difficulty

• In severe cases — dementia symptoms

How It’s Diagnosed:

• MRI Brain: shows enlarged ventricles and widened sulci (as mentioned)

• Neuropsychological tests: to assess memory and thinking

• Blood tests: Vitamin B12, thyroid, infection markers

• EEG or PET scan: sometimes used to differentiate causes
