Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.
At this age of 85 nerve degeneration is quite common. May be your mom has got brain atrophy. Does she has hypertension too? Get her MRI brain done. And consult a neuro physician.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
