Resolved Question: What does "Cerebral Cortical Atrophy" mean?

My brother was in an accident and he had a head injury and concussion. They sent him for a scan and he has obtained this report to take to another doctor, We read it and it says "cerebral cortical atrophy". The doctors never mentioned that but did mention a "bleed" on his brain. What does that mean? Is it something bad? will he be ok? Is he brain damaged? He seems ok, but he's hurt. He's talking and everything. I'm scared for him. Please can you explain to us what that means and the implications? >> full story
