I'm typing neuro exam:  Motor exam:  ...deconditioning and *involutional* atrophy of age.

Villous atrophy
Subject: Villous atrophy

I believe the doctor is saying true villous atrophy.  I'm not sure if the true part is right or if there's another word.  The doctor took biopsies of the duodenum and says they did find blunting and inflammation (if additional information is needed).  TIA.
