A cerebral laceration is a type of traumatic brain injury that occurs when the tissue of the brain is mechanically cut or torn. [1] The injury is similar to a cerebral contusion; however, according to their respective definitions, the pia-arachnoid membranes are torn over the site of injury in laceration and are not torn in contusion.

Unlike pauldrons, spaulders do not cover the armpits. [citation needed] Instead, the gaps may be covered by besagews or simply left bare, exposing the mail beneath.
As with spaulders, pauldrons cover the shoulder area. [1] Pauldrons tend to be larger than spaulders, covering the armpit and sometimes parts of the back and chest.
