There is a difference between the terms organic brain disorder, which means pretty much any disease affecting the brain, and organic brain syndrome (or chronic brain syndrome), which is somewhat general term for some forms of dementia related to alcohol, nutritional causes, etc. Closed head injury means any injury to the brain caused by trauma, not associated with fracture.
