Patient's question:

No

Doctor's answer:

Cerebral atrophy refers to a category of neuro diseases that result in atrophy of brain tissue due to various reasons leading to organic lesions in the brain. It includes pediatric cerebral atrophy and adult cerebral atrophy, with the elderly being more commonly affected. The main clinical symptom of atrophy is dementia, especially in the elderly, who are prone to developing Alzheimer's disease. This is generally caused by insufficient blood supply to the brain, arteriosclerosis of blood vessels, or trauma. Treatment can be challenging, but hyperbaric oxygen therapy can be tried.
