Hi Ms Swarnasree,
Thank you for posting your query.
First of all, I would like to reassure you that these reports are within normal limits.
Normal hippocampi is a good news, as volume loss (atrophy) of hippocampi may suggest severe epilepsy and need for using anti-epileptic drugs for a long time. Hippocampal volume is also decreased in cases of Alzheimer's disease.
Hippocampus volume changes with age, however, a volume more than 2 cu cc is definitely normal.
I hope it helps.
Please get back if you require any additional information.
Best wishes,
