The reason is a concussion can cause someone to become unconscious or even die from the brain injury.

Is it normal for eyes to swell shut after a concussion?
It's not uncommon and it makes sense. The concussion itself doesn't cause this. However, if you're talking concussion, you're talking about a pretty serious impact. If there's discoloration and signs of bruising around the eyes, I would be inclined to consider this a standard impact injury, e.g. bruising, and call it a collateral injury. If however, you agree that this is a bruising effect (and perhaps if you call your doc and get her to agree too), icepack it. However, if you're concerned, call whoever treated this patient and ask them. It's hard to really know when I can't even see the injury :}

WOW....i wonder why people have to ask such dumb questions sometimes? hmmm.............. .A concussion is a type of traumatic brain injury that is caused by a blow to the head or body, a fall, or another injury that jars or shakes the brain inside the skull. So yes, a slap would be able to cause damage if it jars or shakes the head. I would like to be on that jury as I am assuming that is why the question was asked.
