In simple words: This code describes problems with paying attention and concentrating that happen after a brain bleed that wasn't caused by an injury.

This code classifies attention and concentration deficits that occur as a consequence of nontraumatic intracranial hemorrhage.It specifies cognitive impairment manifesting as difficulties with focus and sustained attention following a non-traumatic brain bleed.This code is to be used when the hemorrhage is not caused by trauma.

Example 1: A 65-year-old patient presents with persistent difficulty concentrating and maintaining attention six months after a spontaneous intracerebral hemorrhage.Neuropsychological testing confirms deficits in attention and concentration.Code I69.210 is assigned., A 70-year-old patient experiences a subarachnoid hemorrhage due to a ruptured aneurysm. Following recovery, the patient struggles with diminished attention span and executive function.Code I69.210 is used to reflect the cognitive sequelae., A 58-year-old patient with a history of uncontrolled hypertension suffers a stroke resulting in a significant intracerebral hemorrhage. Post-stroke, the patient demonstrates marked difficulties with attention and focus, interfering with daily functioning. Code I69.210 accurately reflects this condition.

Detailed medical history including details of the intracranial hemorrhage (date, location, size, etiology); neuropsychological testing results specifying deficits in attention and concentration; and documentation of the temporal relationship between the hemorrhage and the cognitive deficits.

** This code is specifically for attention and concentration deficits. Other cognitive deficits following nontraumatic intracranial hemorrhage are coded separately (e.g., memory deficit I69.211).
