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 :}

Swelling and bruising around the eyes after hitting your head on a door is likely due to trauma causing damage to blood vessels and tissues in that area. The force of impact can lead to bleeding beneath the skin, resulting in the characteristic discoloration of a bruise. Swelling occurs as the body's natural response to injury, as it sends extra fluid and white blood cells to the area to promote healing.
Bruising is an after effect of traumatic injury or cuts. In these injuries, blood vessels rupture and the blood gets trapped under the skin causing the discoloration.
