Mild Frontal atrophy"

I am a 56yr old female who has just had a brain CAT scan that says "mild frontal atrophy". THe doctor did not mention anything about this to me. Is this serious, should I be concerned and what if anything should I do?

THank you Joanne

Hi again,
I didn't write that since 2008 Head MRI has shown: I have Cerebral Atrophy. As we know, what is cerebral and especially my female doctor in Pain Centre, she knows more than I do, she told me: how come can somebody write that you have Cerebral Atrophy, as you do Medical Astrology, speak more languages and have lots of interests?

I can only give a comment: the more we visit doctors, the more diagnoses they find, but the really pain or the right diagnosis they ignore.

Hi Joanne,

I have also Frontal Atrophy since 2002, when I had Head CT Scan. Doctors explain that, as I have something wrong with the brain. I have nothing wrong with my brain, but have chronic sinusitis and atypical trigeminal neuralgia. I feel pressure from my frontal head deep into eyes and feel very sleepy. I was told long time ago that I have poor back head circulation. It comes from the neck muscle and the muscle is very often swollen. All I need is something that makes better circulation. My pains are connected with the weather, especially with the wind.
