Contusion

A contusion differs from a concussion; a person may have a concussion and a contusion at the same time. A contusion is a bruise (internal bleeding) occurring on the brain. The bruise occurs when a trauma to the head causes microhemorrhages, that is, blood vessels leaking into brain tissue. Contusions are often more serious than concussion. A person with a contusion may be unconscious longer and exhibit more serious symptoms, including vomiting, blurred or double vision, sensitivity to light and/or sound, confusion, difficulty speaking or walking, and, in some cases, even paralysis and convulsions. The hemorrhages resulting from a contusion may increase intracranial pressure, causing further damage by forcing the delicate brain tissue against the rough inside of the skull. If you or someone you know may have suffered a contusion, you should seek medical help immediately.
