კონტუზია

Another name for a bruise. A contusion is caused when blood vessels are damaged or broken as the result of a bump or hit to the skin. 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.
