Scalp contusion: The slight pain is expected and should be localized to the area of impact. Depending on the location of the impact, the muscle involved in yawning may have been injured at the same time. Again, this should be localized and the pain one sided. Although rare, pathological yawning from brain injury is described in the medical literature.
