Can an obvious brain contusion cause epilepsy?

Patient's question:

Always uncomfortable, feeling bad, can't sleep. Can an invisible brain contusion cause epilepsy?

Doctor's answer:

This is really hard to say, because what is called epilepsy is actually abnormal pulses of brain cells. For those with brain contusions, there is a possibility of epilepsy, so I think once brain contusions occur, there is still a possibility of epilepsy. However, whether it will lead to epilepsy is really hard to say. For such patients, if they have recurrent episodes, medication treatment is necessary.
