Are you asking about a concussion or a contusion? A contusion is a bruise. A concussion is a cracked skull.

BRUISE
"Contusion: Another name for a bruise. What is a bruise ? A bruise, or contusion, is caused when blood vessels are damaged or broken as the result of a blow to the skin (be it bumping against something or hitting yourself with a hammer). The raised area of a bump or bruise results from blood leaking from these injured blood vessels into the tissues as well as from the body's response to the injury. A purplish, flat bruise that occurs when blood leaks out into the top layers of skin is referred to as an ecchymosis.:

If it's not a 'contusion' (defined above) you're talking about, then maybe you mean 'concussion.'
