Allergy being the most common.

It was most likely to be trauma in your sister's case Wrinkly.
Yep, that's what Google says verbatim:

But without a history and examination I think it is stretching it a bit to suggest a most likely cause.

The medics ruled out anything else according to Wrinkly.

As his sister suffered trauma (as with a stroke) that is a 'likely' cause...

Definition of Likely:..
...probable, distinctly possible, to be expected, odds-on, on, possible, credible, plausible, believable, within the bounds of possibility, imaginable...
