ICD-10-CM is composed of codes with 3, 4, 5, 6 or 7 characters. Codes with three characters are included in ICD-10-CM as the heading of a category of codes that may be further subdivided by the use of fourth fifth, sixth or seventh characters to provide greater specificity. 2. Use of full number of characters required for a code
When the same ICD-10-CM diagnosis code applies to two or more conditions during the same encounter (e.g. two separate conditions classified to the same ICD-10-CM diagnosis code): Assign “Y” if all conditions represented by the single ICD-10-CM code were present on admission (e.g. bilateral unspecified age-related cataracts).

Posterior cortical atrophy (PCA) refers to gradual and progressive degeneration of the outer layer of the brain (the cortex) in the part of the brain located in the back of the head (posterior).
People with brain atrophy, also called cerebral atrophy, lose brain cells (neurons), and connections between their brain cells and brain volume often decreases. This loss can lead to problems with thinking, memory and performing everyday tasks. The greater the loss, the more impairment someone has.
According to Coding Clinic: “Assign code M16. 0—Bilateral primary osteoarthritis of hip for degenerative changes of hips”. Coding Clinic's rationale is, “ICD-10- CM's Alphabetic Index under “Degeneration, joint disease” instructs “see Osteoarthritis.”
Background: Global brain atrophy is present in normal aging and different neurodegenerative disorders such as Alzheimer's disease (AD) and is becoming widely used to monitor disease progression.
F02. 8* Dementia in other specified diseases classified elsewhere.
ICD-10 Code for Malignant neoplasm of brain, unspecified- C71. 9- Codify by AAPC.
ICD-10 code F01. 50 for Vascular dementia without behavioral disturbance is a medical classification as listed by WHO under the range - Mental, Behavioral and Neurodevelopmental disorders .
Encephalomalacia is the softening or loss of brain tissue after cerebral infarction, cerebral ischemia, infection, craniocerebral trauma, or other injury. The term is usually used during gross pathologic inspection to describe blurred cortical margins and decreased consistency of brain tissue after infarction.
ICD-10 code R47. 01 for Aphasia is a medical classification as listed by WHO under the range - Symptoms, signs and abnormal clinical and laboratory findings, not elsewhere classified .
When a patient has a history of cerebrovascular disease without any sequelae or late effects, ICD-10 code Z86. 73 should be assigned.
89 - Other specified disorders of brain.
White matter disorder caused by infection. White matter disorder caused by toxin. White matter disorder co-occurrent and due to cerebral autosomal dominant arteriopathy with subcortical infarcts and leukoencephalopathy. White matter disorder due to ischemia.
Unspecified diagnosis codes like R90.82 are acceptable when clinical information is unknown or not available about a particular condition. Although a more specific code is preferable, unspecified codes should be used when such codes most accurately reflect what is known about a patient's condition.
Summary. White matter disease, or leukoaraiosis, involves the degeneration of white matter in the brain. White matter is tissue that includes nerve fibers (axons), which connect nerve cells. A fatty tissue called myelin covers the axons. These axons connect the neurons of the brain and spinal cord and signal nerve cells to communicate ...
The life expectancy of a person with white matter disease depends on many factors, including the specific type, the rate at which it progresses, and the complications it causes.
Research suggests that the risk of white matter disease increases with age and the presence of cardiovascular disease. Medical, lifestyle, and other risk factors that play a role in white matter disease include: 1 chronic hypertension 2 diabetes 3 genetics 4 high cholesterol 5 history of stroke 6 inflammation of the blood vessels 7 Parkinson’s disease 8 smoking
One 2014 study suggests that unexplained white matter disease may be the result of damage due to small silent strokes.
Those who have issues with balance and walking as a result of white matter disease may need physical therapy.
White matter plays an essential role in communication within the brain and between the brain and spinal cord. As a result, damage to this tissue can lead to issues with: problem-solving. memory and focus. mood. balance. walking. In the beginning stages of progressive white matter disease, the symptoms may be mild.
This study suggests that repeated silent strokes could lead to white matter disease.

Answer. Chronic microvascular ischemic changes in the brain are often picked up incidentally on a scan of the brain, most typically an M RI. What they are is small areas in the brain where tiny blood vessels have ruptured or clotted off causing, essentially, extremely small areas of strokes. Most commonly, chronic microvascular ischemic changes are ...
Certainly chronic microvascular changes can build up over time and lead to cognitive and other neurological deficits and so, if these are the symptoms you are experiencing, then they could certainly be explanatory.
