The word "hematoma" came into usage around 1850. It was devised from Greek roots -- hemat-, referring to the blood + -oma, from soma meaning body = a bloody body, or a collection of blood. The many different kinds of hematomas are defined by location and include: * epidural hematoma, * extradural hematoma, * intracerebral hematoma, * intracranial hematoma, * nasal septum hematoma, * subcutaneous hematoma, * subdural hematoma.

What is the difference between a stroke and a subdural hematoma?
A stroke occurs when blood flow to the brain is disrupted, leading to cell death. A subdural hematoma, on the other hand, is a collection of blood between the brain and its outermost covering (the dura mater), often caused by head trauma. Both can lead to neurological symptoms, but a stroke is due to a blood vessel blockage or rupture in the brain, while a subdural hematoma is blood collecting outside the brain tissue.
