Push your physicians for better diagnostics. As others have said "typical of hypertension" is a lame or ignorant cop out, not a lot different than "typical of stress."

If your CT was immediately after your injury, another would be justified. An MRI will not show much different if it was an aneurysm, especially a very small one. A CTA or MRA will do a better job of pinpointing a small aneurysm with CTA showing the smaller aneurysms. A CTA is similar to a CT with contrast, in some cases, the terms are interchangeable. CTA is also much quicker and affordable, so probably more accessible than an MRI/MRA.
