In simple words: This code describes problems with speaking and understanding language that happen after a brain bleed that wasn't caused by an injury.The problems could include trouble forming words, understanding what others say, or speaking clearly.

This code is used to classify speech and language deficits that occur as a consequence of a non-traumatic subarachnoid hemorrhage.These deficits can manifest in various ways, including aphasia (impairment of language), dysphasia (difficulty with speech), dysarthria (difficulty with articulation), and other fluency disorders. The hemorrhage must be non-traumatic in origin.This code should be used in conjunction with other codes to specify the type and severity of the deficit if known.

Example 1: A 60-year-old patient presents with persistent aphasia and dysarthria following a spontaneous subarachnoid hemorrhage three months prior.The patient struggles with verbal communication and requires speech therapy., A 45-year-old female patient experiences a non-traumatic subarachnoid hemorrhage and develops expressive aphasia, hindering her ability to communicate effectively. She undergoes extensive speech therapy to improve her language skills., A 72-year-old male patient has residual dysphasia after a subarachnoid hemorrhage. He experiences word-finding difficulties, impacting his daily life and requiring ongoing speech-language therapy.

Detailed history of the subarachnoid hemorrhage, including date of onset and treatment.Neurological examination findings documenting speech and language deficits.Results of speech-language pathology evaluations specifying the type and severity of the deficits.Progress notes documenting the patient's response to therapy.

** This code is part of a broader category encompassing various sequelae of nontraumatic subarachnoid hemorrhage.Careful clinical documentation is crucial for accurate coding.
