Dear friend,the reason behind this recurrent fits attack can be many including epilepsy or plain seizures.See MRI in some cases can detect the cause if particularly there is any structural deformity is there.as MRI could not clinch the diagnosis i would say u should go for EEG study on him.an EEG can diagnose the electrical activity of various part of the brain.so,if there is any defect in the activity of any part in the brain causing fits ,an EEG can throw some light on that.so under any paediatricians prescription you should go for a n EEG for your child.thank you.
