Updates to Study Attributes
Findings
was changed:
Atrophy of the parietal lobes bilaterally is demonstrated, associated with atrophy of both hippocampi. The remainder of the brain is within normal limits for age, with no small skin vessel ischaemic change. No susceptibility induce signal dropout to suggest micro haemorrhages. No posterior fossa abnormality.
Conclusion:
Bilateral parietal lobe atrophy with hippocampal volume loss is suggestive of Alzheimer's disease, especially in the setting of an amnestic syndrome, although parietal involving schizophrenia is also reported.
