ON REHEARING EN BANC
KOONTZ, C.J.
— On rehearing en banc, Harlene H. Barnett appeals from a decision of the Industrial Commission denying her total and permanent benefits for a work related injury to the brain and subsequently sustained by a panel of this court in Barnett v. D. L. Bromwell, 4 Va. App. 552, 358 S.E.2d 767 (1987). For the reasons that follow, we reverse the decision of the commission. Specifically, we hold that the evidence established that Mrs. Barnett’s work related brain injury resulted in “incurable imbecility” as contemplated by Code § 65.1-56(18).
