Chronic subdural hematoma (CSDH) is a well-known disease that is often preceded by minor head trauma in which a bridging vein tears, resulting in the collection of subdural blood. Although unilateral convexity CSDH occurs in the majority of patients, bilateral lesions are not uncommon in neurosurgical practices.
Nontraumatic subdural hemorrhage, unspecified The 2022 edition of ICD-10-CM I62. 00 became effective on October 1, 2021.
ICD-10 code I62. 01 for Nontraumatic acute subdural hemorrhage is a medical classification as listed by WHO under the range - Diseases of the circulatory system .
Subdural haematomas are usually caused by a head injury. A subdural haematoma develops if there's bleeding into the space between the skull and the brain (the subdural space) caused by damage to the blood vessels of the brain or the brain itself.
An acute SDH is hyperdense (white) on CT, whereas a sub-acute SDH will appear isodense (grey) and hypodense (black) when chronic. A chronic SDH is a collection of blood breakdown products that has been present for at least 3 weeks and can become acute-on-chronic if small hemorrhages in the collection occur.

The mechanism for post LP bilateral hygromas is poorly understood but is presumed to involve a lumbar CSF leak with a reduction in CSF pressure, resulting in downward displacement of the brain with CSF accumulation in the inner dural layers of the cerebral convexities (hygromas).
ICD-10-CM Code for Traumatic subdural hemorrhage with loss of consciousness of unspecified duration, initial encounter S06. 5X9A.
A subdural hemorrhage, also called a subdural hematoma, is a kind of intracranial hemorrhage, which is the bleeding in the area between the brain and the skull. Specifically, it is a bleed just under the dura, which is one of the protective layers of tissue that surrounds the brain.

What are the symptoms of subdural hematoma? Because a subdural hematoma is a type of traumatic brain injury (TBI), they share many symptoms. Symptoms of a subdural hematoma may appear immediately following trauma to the head, or they may develop over time – even weeks to months.
A chronic SDH that puts severe pressure on the brain can cause permanent brain damage and even death. If you or someone you know exhibits symptoms of this condition, it's important to seek prompt medical help. People who have seizures or lose consciousness need emergency care.
Burr hole surgery is the main treatment for subdural haematomas that develop a few days or weeks after a minor head injury (chronic subdural haematomas). During the procedure, one or more small holes are drilled in the skull and a flexible rubber tube is inserted to drain the haematoma.
Contents. In some cases, a subdural haematoma can cause damage to the brain that requires further care and recovery time. How long it takes to recover varies from person to person. Some people may feel better within a few weeks or months, while others may never make a full recovery even after many years.
A chronic subdural hematoma may happen in older people after a minor head injury. A subdural hematoma may happen after a severe head injury. Doctors often treat subdural hematomas with surgery to ease pressure on the brain. If you have a subdural hematoma, you need emergency treatment.
I need some clarification on the proper billing of CPT 61154 - Burr hole (s) with evacuation and/or drainage of hematoma, extradural or subdural. Based on the description it appears that this one code covers one or more burr holes. Yet it says for bilateral to use the 50 modifier. I had a case where there was a burr hole created in the frontal and parietal occipital. The code was billed twice and Medicare paid. I have been told that this code should only be billed once. I am confused. Any insight into the proper billing of this code is greatly appreciated. Also does anyone know of any neurosurgery classes out there?
61154 is a unilateral procedure. If performed bilaterally, you would append modifier 50. The Neurosurgery Coding Companion describes it as a "mirror image".... performed indentically on the opposite side. Below is a link for the regions of the brain. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Occipital_lobe.
