What is the difference between a stroke and a subdural hematoma?
Hematoma is a bruise, stroke is burst vessel in the brain.
What is the difference between a periorbital hematoma and a bilateral periorbital hematoma?
periorbital hematoma is 1 black eye, bilateral is 2 black eyes
What is the difference between a seroma and a hematoma?
seroma: filled with clear serous fluid hematoma: filled with red blood cells
What is one difference between a subdural hematoma and an epidural hematoma?
A Subdural Hematoma occurs when a severe acceleration to deceleration occurs leading to the veins in the subdural space tearing. An Epidural Hematoma occurs from direct trauma to the brain leading to bleeding in the meningeal artery.
What is the difference between a fracture hematoma and a hematoma?
A hematoma is a mass of clotted blood that forms at an injury site. A fracture hematoma is a clot resulting from a break in a blood vessel within the bone, the marrow space, the periosteum, or the surrounding tissue associated with a bone fracture.
What is the difference between a brain bleed and an aneurysm?
Hematoma is blood pooled outside the blood vessel, aneurysm is a bulging of a blood vessel.
What is the difference between a intracerebral hematoma and subdural hematoma?
An intracerebral hematoma is a collection of blood from bleeding within the brain whereas a subdural hematoma is a collection of blood from bleeding outside the brain. The brain is covered by a membrane called the meninges which consists of three layers. The outermost layer is the dura mater, the middle layer is the arachnoid mater while the innermost layer which is adjacent to the outer surface of the brain is the pia mater. A subdural hematoma is therefore more specifically a collection of blood between the dura and arachnoid layers.
What is the difference between erythema and hyperaemia?
Erythema is the physical sign of redness of an ectodermal structure like skin or the exocervix. It is caused by Hyperemia, which is the presence of increased blood flow to a particular structure. Erythema is a physical sign, while Hyperemia is a physiologic process. Hyperemia can also occur in other parts of the body like in a myocardial infarct.
What is an epidural hematoma?
blood accumulation that separates the dura from the inner side of the skull is known as an epidural hematoma (blood swelling). The same process occurrence between the dura and arachnoid layers is a subdural hematoma
What is the difference between a hematoma and ecchymosis?
A hematoma is a collection of blood outside the blood vessels below the dermal layer of the skin whereas an ecchymosis is collection of blood within the dermal layer. When visible they both appear as a discolouration of the skin with the ecchymosis appearing flat and the hematoma appearing as a swelling. This fact usually distinguishes the two clinically. The colour varies depending on the location and age.
If you get hit in the head blood accumulates between the dura mater and the skull?
Epidural hematoma
How serious is a subdural hematoma?
Symptoms appearing in less than 48 hours are due to an acute subdural hematoma. This type of bleeding is often fatal, and results from tearing of the venous sinus.
