Detailed Answer:
Welcome back and thanks for being on follow up.
It is difficult to differentiate in this moment if the cause of the seizures was brain injury, or were seizures cause of the fall and subsequent head injury.
However, this issue can be addressed by brain imaging studies ( MRI ) of the brain.
If there are brain damages post trauma such malacia and location of the damage correspond to EEG findings, then brain injury is most likely to be the culprit of seizures.
Hope I helped you.
