Cerebral atrophy or Brain atrophy is a condition associated with a reduction of brain volume by loss of neurons and their connections.[1]
Causes[edit | edit source]
There are many factors cause atrophy;[1]
1. Aging
2. Infections of central nervous system (CNS)
3. Nutritional deficiency
4. Metabolic and endocrine causes
5. Traumatic causes
6. Drug induced brain atrophy
7. Radiation induced brain atrophy
8. Increased intracranial pressure
9. Perinatal and birth injury induced atrophy
10. Neurodegenerative diseases causing brain atrophy
11. Other causes
Conditions[edit | edit source]
The clinical picture of cerebral atrophy is associated with the condition itself as the atrophy does not always occur in isolation; unlike some other conditions such as leukoariosis and stroke are known to accompany brain atrophy.
