Brief Answer:
Reports are confirming diagnosis of dementia

Detailed Answer:
Hello,
I have gone through all reports and MRI films.
The MRI shows diffuse cerebral atrophy with small vessel ischemic changes too.
Lipid profile is also deranged.
The condition seems to be progressive. The treatment should be continued as discussed previously for slowing the progression.
Regular follow up under neurologist is advisable.
