(Active) Effective Date: N/A Revision Date: N/A Deletion Date: N/A Cerebrovascular diseases - Cognitive deficits following other nontraumatic intracranial hemorrhage Diseases of the circulatory system (I00-I99) Feed
Cognitive, social, or emotional deficits following a nontraumatic intracranial hemorrhage.
The presence of cognitive, social, or emotional deficits must be clearly documented and directly linked to the nontraumatic intracranial hemorrhage.Neuropsychological testing may be necessary to support the diagnosis and code assignment.

- I69.21 (Cognitive deficits following other nontraumatic intracranial hemorrhage)
In simple words: This code describes problems with thinking, social skills, or emotions that happen after a brain bleed that wasn't caused by an injury.
This code is used to classify cognitive, social, or emotional deficits that occur as a consequence of a nontraumatic intracranial hemorrhage.These deficits may include, but are not limited to, impairments in memory, attention, executive function, and psychosocial functioning. The hemorrhage must not be caused by trauma.
Example 1: A 65-year-old patient presents with memory loss, difficulty concentrating, and changes in personality following a spontaneous intracerebral hemorrhage.I69.215 is used to code the cognitive and emotional deficits., A 72-year-old patient experiences a subarachnoid hemorrhage and subsequently develops significant social withdrawal and apathy. I69.215 accurately reflects the social and emotional impairments., A 58-year-old patient suffers from a nontraumatic intracranial hemorrhage and presents with impaired executive function (difficulty planning and organizing tasks), impacting daily activities. I69.215 is the appropriate code.
Detailed medical history, neurological examination findings, neuroimaging results (CT scan or MRI) demonstrating the nontraumatic intracranial hemorrhage, and documentation of the specific cognitive, social, and emotional deficits observed.
** This code is used to capture the long-term effects of nontraumatic intracranial hemorrhage on cognitive, social, and emotional functioning.It is crucial to differentiate this from deficits caused by other conditions or trauma.
