Robert,
I was about 6 months old when it happened, but I went down a flight of
stairs and hit a chimney at the bottom of them and a cement floor. The
doctors told my mom when I started having them that had to have been from
the head injury.I can't say a 100% sure, but it is very likely that is what
caused them.You just have to go by what your parents tell you and what you
learn about it yourself.Take care and glad to help.
