Latin term or phrase: Chioma cerebrale
I search for Chioma cerebrale and Google doesn't find it. Chioma as a single word is found - but as a girls' name.

It might be a typo, but trying with chlioma and a few variants doesn't give me anything.

Is there somebody who knows?

Context is suicide by firearm.

cerebral haemorrhage


Explanation:
If the word χιωμα existed, it would in this context mean a 'pouring' or 'discharge' from the brain (from χέω). But the word does not exist in ancient Greek and, apparently, not in the modern language, either.

  -> Then it would mean 'cerebral hair'. The brain contains no hair nor hair follicles. Keratinous tissues arise from the skin, not from the cerebrum.

neutral  mrrafe: With a gunshot to the head, cerebral haemorrhage could be cause of death, but not if there's no word chioma.
