I am writing in regards to my mother (age 73) who has no diagnosis but definite symptoms of memory loss and confusion. I was just at her Drs & he gave me a report from her CT scan. It reads ..."A moderate degree of cerebral atrophy is noted with a frontotemporal prediliction. This is unchanged." (She had a CT scan done a year earlier). Can anyone tell me what this means in layman's terms? Thank you in advance.

A moderate degree of cerebral atrophy is noted with a frontotemporal prediliction

Cerebral - essentially, the brain
Atrophy - shrinkage
Frontotemporal - two of the four brain lobes,
The frontal lobe, where executive function and personality is located,
The Temporal lobe - where language is located
prediliction - misspelling of predilection definition - Condition of favoring
