Can hypnosis cause seizures in epileptics?

Just a thought that crossed my mind. It's somewhat relevant, but I'm just wondering if it's possible.

Hypnosis can not per se trigger seizures, but what goes on in the session can. Which is why there is a lot of literature that says stay away from hypnotism for epileptics.

What I mean is that it is well known that flashing lights in cetain colors trigger seizures in some epileptics. If you have a file that contains a flashing light as part of its content this can trigger a seizure as well as if the subject had seen a real flashing light.
