Partial seizure during MRI

[CindyD]

I think I had a partial seizure during my MRI last week - my eyes were blinking more rapidly than I could ever do by myself, headache in right temple, a numb feeling spread kind of down my face and a small tremor in my right arm. It probably only lasted less than a minute, but does anyone know if this would show up on my MRI and help the neurologist with my diagnosis and treatment?

Thanks,
Cindy

An MRI generally provides a picture of the physical structure of the brain. It doesn't record brain activity.

Too bad it wasn't during an EEG

I would think if it was noticable the technician would be telling you to hold still.
