Is cerebral atrophy curable? Is life span restricted?
Patient: Thanks for replying. I am very much concerned about the disease. So far I have collected datas from internet about the disease it is evident that cerebral atrophy is a progressive disease, there is no cure for the disease, and the life span of the patient is restricted. is it true? i am enough strong to hear the truth. pls tell me the truth. Doctor: Dear friend,Thanks for posting your query on this website. I fully appreciate your concerns.I agree with you that cerebral atrophy is incurable. Degenerated brain tissue does NOT regenerate. Besides, the condition is gradually progressive but its complications are the cause of curtailed longevity. I am sure  that you will benefit from the advice.Please feel free to revert back to me in case of further clarifications, if any.Have a good health.Fond Regards,Dr.(Col)  R KaranwalM.D. (Internal Medicine)PLEASE NOTE :- My opinion/advice is based SOLELY on the details provided by you.
