What Could MRI Report As Shadowing Or Abnormal Uptake Signify With History Of Seizures?
My 15 year old son has a history of seizures any time he would hit his head hard (probably 12-15) from the age of three to ten years old. He has had 3 concussions in the last 1.5 years from sports. He had an MRI last week and the result is a "shadowing" or "abnormal uptake" but the radiologist was sure there was no mass or abnormally. He is requesting a CT of that area to get thin "sliced" pictures of that area.

HI
Thank for asking to HCM
I really appreciate your concern, the history of your son is suggestive of Grandmal seizures (Epilepsy) I would advise you to get done the EEG test this will confirm the diagnosis, instead of thinking for CT imaging it would be better to get done EEG test, I hope you could understand this, have nice day.
