Could I still possibly have a brain tumor even though my CT SCAN results were clear?

For the past 3-4 months I have been getting this werid foggy head. It all started when we found out my brother had a brain disorder which he did surgery on (Cavernous Malformation) I started getting left sided numbness, headaches and weakness. My left eye would swell also. I got scared, went to the doctor and did a blood test and CT SCAN. both came back normal but I find that I still feel the same. Do you think a CT Scan can miss it?

    No, more likely you are having a sympathetic reaction to your brother's illness. Just like some men get nausea or even produce some milk when their wives are pregnant or lactating. It can be a powerful reaction.

    Of course it can, but it's unlikely to miss something so large.

    It's more likely that you have a development brain disorder. A CT scan cannot show actual dysfunction. It only shows physical causes of dysfunction.
