My son 11 years was diagnosed with Atrophy of the right hippocampus with prominence of the temporal horn of the right lateral ventricle. what does this imply and how serious is it? does it pose any dangers in his live? can it be cured completely? advise me
Some results suggest that depression is associated with hippocampal atrophy, perhaps due to a progressive process mediated by glucocorticoid neurotoxicity. We observe the evidence for hippocampal atrophy in Cushing syn Chat Doctor.  I hope that left hippocampus will work, and he will not have following up symptoms. We can not treat atrophy. But we should improve his blood circulation in brain by giving of Nootropic, B complex with lysine, multivitamins, exercising.
