ICD-10 Code for Cerebral infarction due to unspecified occlusion or stenosis of left posterior cerebral artery- I63. 532- Codify by AAPC.
Occlusion and stenosis of unspecified cerebral artery I66. 9 is a billable/specific ICD-10-CM code that can be used to indicate a diagnosis for reimbursement purposes. The 2022 edition of ICD-10-CM I66. 9 became effective on October 1, 2021.
Posterior cerebral artery syndrome is a condition whereby the blood supply from the posterior cerebral artery (PCA) is restricted, leading to a reduction of the function of the portions of the brain supplied by that vessel: the occipital lobe, the inferomedial temporal lobe, a large portion of the thalamus, and the ...
ICD-10 | Cerebral infarction, unspecified (I63. 9)
When an artery inside the skull becomes blocked by plaque or disease, it is called cerebral artery stenosis. Arteries anywhere in the body can become blocked. For example, carotid artery stenosis is a narrowing of the large artery in the neck, the carotid, that supplies oxygen-rich blood to the brain.

A residual high-grade stenosis was defined as a stenosis of ≥70% excluding near occlusions.
The Posterior Cerebral Artery (PCA) supplies the occipital lobe, the inferior part of the temporal lobe, and various deep structures including the thalamus and the posterior limb of the internal capsule.
Posteriorly, the basilar artery (BA), formed by the left and right vertebral arteries, branches into a left and right posterior cerebral artery (PCA), forming the posterior circulation. The PCAs mostly supply blood to the occipital lobe and inferior portion of the temporal lobe.
ICD-10 Code for Cerebellar stroke syndrome- G46. 4- Codify by AAPC.
Obstruction in blood flow (ischemia) to the brain can lead to permanent damage. This is called a cerebrovascular accident (CVA). It is also known as cerebral infarction or stroke. Rupture of an artery with bleeding into the brain (hemorrhage) is called a CVA, too.
Code category I67-I68 describes other cerebrovascular diseases and cerebrovascular disorders in diseases classified elsewhere. Code category I69 (Sequelae of cerebrovascular disease) specifies the type of stroke that caused the sequelae (late effect) as well as the residual condition itself.
