Additional Info
- This code is for cerebral ischemia/stroke due to thrombosis of a cerebral artery (not embolic).
- If the ischemic stroke is embolic (including cardioembolic), use Cerebral infarction/stroke due to embolism.
- If a stroke is not specified as hemorrhage or infarction, use Stroke, NOS.
- If the ischemic stroke due to thrombosis spontaneously "transforms" and bleeds, then COMBINE it with the appropriate code for the hemorrhage (see below).
- If the hemorrhage after an ischemic stroke was NOT spontaneous, but followed anticoagulation, then the hemorrhage should be coded as Hemorrhage, due to anticoagulant or thrombolytic drug as a complication of treatment, not a complication of the stroke per se.
Alternate ICD10s to consider coding instead or in addition
- Stroke, NOS
- Hemorrhage, subarachnoid or ruptured cerebral aneurysm
- Hemorrhage, intracerebral/intracranial, nontraumatic (ICH, hemorrhagic stroke)
- Subdural or epidural hematoma/hemorrhage, nontraumatic
