I don't know how an MRI be abnormal. What the MRI more or less is is a picture of the brain which would show anything different from what it should be. As for your CT scan welllllllllll it shows things kinds like a MRI pictures. Now for your "multiple hard blows to the head including loss of consciousness" That could have caused some issues. I say that because a blow to the head can cause a hemmorage to the brain. The hemmorage can then cause scared brain tissue. Scared brain tissue is what caused my epilepsy. The test I was given was the MRI of the 1960's believe me yo uwould not want to take a neuro-angeogram and have a spinal tap done at the same time. At the present time many doctors are trying to determine exactly where to put PNES.
