That’s a really poor attention grab.
If it’s for you, ask your doctor.
If you’re in PBLs, do your own damn research.

A “congenital” defect or illness means one that your born with. Cerebral atrophy implies a decline over time. It sounds like they’re ruling out a brain tumor. This is either a CT or MRI report, and it sounds like that of an older person. Maybe they have NPH or some kind of dementia?
