Abstrakt: CT studies on 212 normal elderly individuals were analyzed for ventricular enlargement and cortical atrophy. Results show a positive correlation between ventricular enlargement and age with greater degrees of ventricular enlargement and cortical atrophy in men as compared to women. While some degree of atrophy is common in normal elderly individuals it is mild, minimal, or noexistent in 86%. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
