In simple words: This code is for a blood clot in the veins of the brain that happens during pregnancy. The blood clot is related to the pregnancy.
This code classifies cerebral venous thrombosis that develops during pregnancy.It is specifically for cases where the venous thrombosis is considered to be directly related to or aggravated by the pregnancy itself.This code should only be used on the maternal record and not on the newborn's record.Excludes venous complications of abortion, ectopic or molar pregnancy, or other obstetric conditions.
Example 1: A 30-year-old woman at 32 weeks gestation presents with headache, blurred vision, and seizures.Imaging reveals a cerebral venous thrombosis.Code O22.5 is assigned., A 25-year-old pregnant woman in her second trimester experiences sudden onset of severe headache and focal neurological deficits.Diagnosis of cerebral venous thrombosis is confirmed by MRI.O22.5 is used to indicate the diagnosis., A 35-year-old woman in her first trimester presents with symptoms consistent with cerebral venous thrombosis.Tests confirm the diagnosis, and code O22.5 is reported.
* Detailed history of presenting symptoms.* Complete physical examination findings.* Imaging studies (e.g., MRI, CT venography) confirming the diagnosis of cerebral venous thrombosis.* Relevant laboratory test results (e.g., coagulation studies).* Documentation establishing the relationship between the thrombosis and the pregnancy.
** This code is highly specific and requires thorough documentation to support its use.Any uncertainty about the relationship between the thrombosis and pregnancy should be carefully documented and reviewed with coding specialists to ensure proper coding.
