Nontraumatic subarachnoid hemorrhage from carotid siphon and bifurcation.
Medical necessity for treatment is established by the presence of a life-threatening subarachnoid hemorrhage requiring immediate medical intervention.
Diagnosis and management of nontraumatic subarachnoid hemorrhage.
In simple words: Bleeding in the space between the brain and the surrounding membrane (subarachnoid space), not caused by trauma, specifically originating from the carotid siphon and bifurcation.
Nontraumatic subarachnoid hemorrhage originating from the carotid siphon and bifurcation.
Example 1: A patient presents with sudden onset of severe headache, described as the "worst headache of their life." Imaging reveals subarachnoid hemorrhage originating from the carotid siphon and bifurcation., A patient with a history of hypertension experiences a sudden, intense headache and loses consciousness. Diagnostic studies confirm a nontraumatic subarachnoid hemorrhage from the carotid siphon and bifurcation., During a routine angiogram, a patient is found to have an aneurysm at the carotid siphon bifurcation. The aneurysm ruptures, causing a subarachnoid hemorrhage.
Documentation should include details of the patient's symptoms, neurological examination findings, imaging results (e.g., CT, MRI, angiography) confirming the subarachnoid hemorrhage and its location, and any other relevant medical history.
** Excludes1: syphilitic ruptured cerebral aneurysm (A52.05)Excludes2: sequelae of subarachnoid hemorrhage (I69.0-)
