The CAT scan results indicate changes in the brain tissue that occur as result of long standing problem of decreased blood flow to the brain.
There are no on going problems detected in the current scan.
Advanced volume loss indicates age related and decreased blood flow induced changes in the brain. These two together cause a decrease in the brain substance and its volume.
His general condition may be related to the decreasing brain volume leading to a gradual loss of control of other systems hence a multiple system failure.
