Can brain hemorrhage cause epilepsy?

Brain hemorrhage can cause epilepsy. In clinical practice, epilepsy caused by brain hemorrhage is called symptomatic epilepsy or secondary epilepsy. Seizures can occur during the acute phase of a brain hemorrhage and months, or even years, after the brain hemorrhage has been absorbed. Most of the seizures in the acute phase of brain hemorrhage are related to the site of the hemorrhage, such as seizures that occur with hemorrhage in the frontal, temporal, or parietal lobes of the brain. In addition, when the clot is absorbed after a brain hemorrhage, glial cells will proliferate at the site of the original hemorrhage and neurons will have abnormal discharges at irregular intervals, which can cause seizures.
