black eyes may or may not be associated with a concussion. a blunt injury to the forehead resulting in a "bump" is really an accumulation of blood under the skin. because of gravity and the fact that we walk upright this accumulated pocket of blood can gradually drain downward toward the eyelids and upper face and give a person black eyes.
are these injuries related? . do black eyes typically accompany a concussion? my brother recently showed up with a huge bump on his head. there is no broken skin on the head face forehead or nose. yet he also has two big black eyes. i believe he was beaten and did not stumble into a wall as he claims.
