	Cerebral atrophy - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Cerebral atrophy is a common feature of many of the diseases that affect the brain.
		Atrophy can be generalized, which means that all of the brain has shrunk; or it can be focal, affecting only a limited area of the brain and resulting in a decrease of the functions that area of the brain controls.
		Many diseases that cause cerebral atrophy are associated with dementia, seizures, and a group of language disorders called the aphasias.

		Dementia with cerebral atrophy was not incurred in or aggravated by service, and is not proximately due to or the result of a service connected injury.
		The veteran contends that he has a cerebral atrophy that is a direct result of the gunshot wound with the retained metallic fragment in the head.
		On a VA examination in October 1992, the veteran's history of dementia with demonstration of cerebral atrophy on magnetic resonance imaging and computerized axial tomography scans of the head was noted.

		The present MRI study was conducted to analyze the correlation between regional cerebral atrophy and neuropsychological deficits in HD.
		Regional cerebral atrophy as identified by VBM, mainly localized in the bilateral striatum, significantly covaries with the degree of neuropsychological deficits in HD, demonstrating the role of striatal atrophy and consecutive impairment of cortico-basal ganglia-thalamo-cortical circuits in frontal dysfunction in HD.

		However, recent evidence demonstrates that axonal damage, and cerebral atrophy also occur to a significant extent, even early in the disease.
		In as much as progressive brain atrophy represents irreversible brain damage and tissue loss, a metric of brain atrophy is a powerful surrogate for the accumulated burden of disease.
		Atrophy measures will lead to a better understanding of MS pathology and will have important implications for disease prognosis, and monitoring treatment effect in clinical trials.

		Atrophy measures on MRI may be a useful surrogate marker of worsening disability in MS, but the published studies are of relatively short duration.
		Change in brain volume (atrophy) was measured over a four-year period in 20 patients with relapsing—remitting (RR) and 18 with secondary progressive (SP) MS using three-dimensional (3D) MRI acquired during treatment trials of interferon-beta-1a (Rebif®).
		The data also provides evidence that brain atrophy can be detected early in the disease course and central white matter atrophy as reflected by ventricle enlargement appears to be a continuous process.

		It is not shown that progressive dementia secondary to cerebral atrophy, residuals of a cerebrovascular accident, and Parkinson's disease are etiologically related to a service-connected disorder.
		After examination, the diagnosis was Parkinson's disease, probably secondary to cerebrovascular arteriosclerosis; chronic progressive dementia, secondary to cerebral atrophy such as in Alzheimer's disease; moderate generalized anxiety disorder with depression; status post cranio-cerebral injury with history of head trauma 1942 to 1945; and chronic tension headaches.
		Service Connection for Progressive Dementia secondary to Cerebral Atrophy, Residuals of a Cerebrovascular Accident, and Parkinson's Disease The governing law provides that service connection will be granted for disability resulting from personal injury suffered or disease contracted, or for aggravation of a pre-existing injury suffered or disease contracted in line of duty.

		Sokratis Papageorgiou and colleagues from the Athens General Hospital in Athens, Greece, described a study in which the mean BFV values in the MCA of forty probable AD patients were found to correlate with the degree of cerebral atrophy, as well as the degree of hippocampal atrophy.
		Cerebral atrophy and hippocampal atrophy were evaluated quantitatively by two independent examiners, using a four-point scale.
		These values were then correlated to the cerebral and hippocampal atrophy values, MMSE scores and the duration of the disease in number of years.

		Symmetry and the general cerebral architecture were intact except for subtle findings related to a generalized volume loss.
		On T1-weighted midsagittal images, the cerebellum appeared moderately atrophied, but this was not disproportionate to that seen in the cerebral cortex.
		Volume loss specific to the midbrain is commonly described in multisystems atrophy, but in practice, these changes occur quite late in the disease and are often difficult to recognize because standard imaging measurements are not available for the midbrain (28).
