In simple words: This code describes problems with paying attention and concentrating that happened after a stroke or other brain blood vessel problem. The exact type of blood vessel problem isn't stated.

This code signifies an attention and concentration deficit that is a consequence of an unspecified cerebrovascular disease.It indicates cognitive impairments specifically affecting attention and concentration, resulting from a prior cerebrovascular event. The underlying cerebrovascular disease is not specified.

Example 1: A 65-year-old patient presents with persistent difficulty focusing and maintaining attention six months post-unspecified cerebrovascular accident (CVA). Neuropsychological testing reveals deficits in sustained attention and concentration. , A 72-year-old patient experiences a transient ischemic attack (TIA) with subsequent complaints of decreased attention span and difficulty concentrating at work.Neurological examination reveals no focal neurological deficits., An 80-year-old patient is admitted to a rehabilitation facility following an unspecified cerebrovascular event. The patient exhibits significant difficulties with attention and concentration, impacting their ability to perform activities of daily living (ADLs).

Detailed history of the cerebrovascular event (date, type if known, symptoms), neuropsychological testing results documenting attention and concentration deficits, and any relevant imaging studies (e.g., CT scan, MRI).

** This code is used for sequelae of unspecified cerebrovascular disease.It is essential to document the specific cognitive deficits and their impact on the patient's daily life to support medical necessity.
