A thrombus is a clot that forms inside a vessel or the heart.
No, a blood clot does not cause bruising. Bruising occurs when small blood vessels under the skin break and leak blood, while a blood clot is a clump of blood that forms in a vein or artery.
Hematoma formation (when blood rushes from the broken vessels to form a clot) is the first step of fracture healing.
Yes, a blood clot in the brain and a skull fracture can be life-threatening. A blood clot can cause a blockage in blood flow leading to a stroke, while a skull fracture can cause bleeding and increased pressure in the brain. Prompt medical intervention is crucial in these cases to prevent death.
