Brain Atrophy
Q: My spouse is in their forties. A few years ago, they suddenly experienced leg weakness (later diagnosed as an allergic reaction to green beans, which resolved the next day). A brain CT scan now reveals brain atrophy, equivalent to that of someone in their sixties. They also have poor memory. Is there a connection between these symptoms and the brain atrophy? How should this be treated?
A: Brain atrophy is often a consequence of cerebral arteriosclerosis. Seventy percent of patients with cerebral arteriosclerosis also have hypertension. The transient leg weakness you mentioned is likely a symptom of cerebral arteriosclerosis. As for the green bean allergy, I’m not sure where the diagnosis came from, so I can’t comment on that specifically.
