It might have stimulated some latent physiological condition - obviously you don't want to scare him with anything at this point knowing how he reacted - whether or not it was the actual cause of the seizures. Seizures can be caused by a host of other health issues but they do seem to have "stimulatory situations." The mask might have been one.
