Additional Info

Includes:

  • traumatic intracerebral hemorrhage
  • Focal cerebral contusions are the most frequently encountered lesions. Contusions are commonly seen in the basal frontal and temporal areas, which are particularly susceptible due to direct impact on basal skull surfaces in the setting of acceleration/deceleration injuries


As a Comorbid Diagnosis

To code a TBI as a comorbid code use Brain/intracranial injury NOS, injury/trauma.

Causes of TBI

The six categories of external force that may result in TBI include:

  • The head being struck by an object
  • The head striking an object
  • Acceleration/deceleration of the brain without direct external impact
  • A foreign body penetrating the brain
  • The force from a blast/explosion
  • Other forces yet to be defined

Alternate ICD10s to consider coding instead or in addition

Traumas and their Mechanisms

  • In ICD10, traumas need to be combined with separate mechanism codes to fully explain the situation.
  • Here are lists of the codes for "mechanical" injuries to various body parts:
    • some codes are always traumatic and always need a mechanism:

  • Other codes may or may not be of a traumatic nature; these also qualify to be coded with trauma mechanisms listed below:
Potential trauma codes:
  • Here is a list of the external mechanism or agent that caused the trauma:
