What Does This CT Scan Of Brain Indicate?

Our 4 month old infant had a ct scan and it states, mild prominence of CSF spaces in frontal region. What does that mean? I know CSF is spinal fluid that is also surrounding the brain, but I don t understand what they are saying when they refer to mild prominence of CSF spaces in the frontal region. Is that good, bad, normal? Thank you...

Hi...mild prominence of CSF spaces in a 4 month old can be normal in a normally developing kid. But this has to be clinically correlated with the baby's condition. Even in the report the radiologist would've mentioned as to clinically correlate the findings if I am right.
