Brief Answer:
Mild frontal atrophy is a minor finding

Detailed Answer:
Hi,

Thank you for posting your query.

Mild frontal atrophy refers to mild shrinkage of brain in the frontal (front) aspect, and is a non-specific finding. There is no need to worry about it.

Also, we need to correlate the CT scan findings with clinical symptoms. If you have memory loss and impairment of other cognitive functions, then, the findings may be significant. However, in my opinion, this finding is not likely to be significant. I see many CT scans of patients with headache, who have mild frontal atrophy, and on follow up, they have remained well without any memory impairment.

I hope it helps. Please get back if you have any more queries.

Brief Answer:
MRI would be beneficial.

Detailed Answer:
Hi,

Thank you for getting back.

MRI of brain would be beneficial, as it would give us detailed information about the brain. However, I do not expect any significant abnormalities in MRI, as you have no symptoms related to brain dysfunction. In neurology, one has to correlate CT or MRI findings to the clinical picture. Isolated CT scan findings without any clinical symptoms are not significant.
