Brief Answer:
It could be a non-specific finding.

Detailed Answer:
Hi,

Thank you for posting your query.

I am Dr Sudhir Kumar, Neurologist and would try my best to help you.

Prominence of extracerebral CSF spaces means that there is mild shrinkage of brain (reduced brain size and volume) in frontal and parietal regions.

This is a non-specific finding in most people, as there is no direct correlation between brain size and brain functions.

However, in a person with memory impairment or abnormality of brain functions, this finding could be significant. So, it depends on the symptoms.

I hope my answer helps. Please get back if you have any follow up queries or if you require any additional information.

Wishing you good health,
