nontraumás

Nontraumás is a Hungarian adjective meaning not caused by external physical trauma. In medical and scientific usage it describes events, symptoms, or conditions that arise without an antecedent injury, or as a result of disease, rather than as the outcome of an accident or impact. The term is commonly used to distinguish non-injury etiologies from traumatic ones, and it can apply to sources, processes, or clinical presentations.

In clinical practice the designation helps frame diagnosis and management. For example, nontraumatic subarachnoid hemorrhage refers to bleeding in the space around the brain that occurs without head trauma, typically due to an aneurysm or other vascular pathology. Nontraumatic chest pain is described when the pain is not related to an acute physical injury. The term is also used in contexts such as dentistry, orthopedics, and pediatrics to indicate conditions not caused by or resulting from physical trauma.

Synonyms in Hungarian include atraumás; in English-language medical literature the parallel terms are nontraumatic or atraumatic. While sometimes used interchangeably, some authors reserve nontraumatic for etiologies that are spontaneous or disease-driven and atraumatic for conditions characterized by the absence of injury in a broader sense.

Origin and usage: the word combines the prefix non- with trauma, with the Hungarian suffix -s indicating an adjective. It appears in clinical notes, case reports, and medical guidelines to clarify that trauma is not the cause.
