N2  - To provide some order in the discussion of brain injuries the classification of injuries as "open" or 'closed" is used. The basic criterion is the involvement of the dura. If it is intact, the injury is a "closed" one even though the skull may be fractured. If the dura is penetrated it is an "open" injury. Only the mechanics of "closed" brain injuries will be discussed here.<p />
