Hi,
The report shows that brain size is slightly reduced. This is common with increasing ages.
Besides, there are also multiple very small Infacts in the brain which may be one reason for the reduced size.
We generally recommend checking cholesterol and other risk factors to avoid major stokes in the future. Aspirin may be needed.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
Regards,
Dr Mahboob Ur Rahman , General & Family Physician
