Suggest Treatment For Frontal Lobe Shrinkage
Hello, my daughter was diognosed with frontal lobe shrinkage which affects the memory and behavior. I heard that this condition is unreversable. Is there a medication or treatment that can help to regulate her condition ? , and can this cause her to have dementia in the future ?

Hello. i have been through your question and understand your concern.
Frontal lobe atrophia or shrinkage is quite common after the sixth decade while less common before. It is generally a benign situation, but unfortunatelly it is progressive and there is no treatment to prevent or treat this condition. Generally this is associated with cognitive impairment but not always.
You should have radiologic follow up to monitor this condition.
Hope this helps. Best regards
