Brief Answer:
Traumatic epilepsy
Detailed Answer:
Dear
I am sorry for the symptoms you have suffered
I red your MRI report and yes those lessions can cause epilepsy.
It still need examination to be sure that is encephalopathia which is causing seizures.
In my advice you should schedule an brain EEG and that will explain everything.
Hope my answer helps you
