What is a basal ganglia stroke?

This type of stroke occurs when blood leaks from a burst, torn, or unstable blood vessel into the tissue in the brain. The buildup of blood can create swelling, pressure, and, ultimately, brain damage. Many basal ganglia strokes are hemorrhagic strokes, which often result from uncontrolled high blood pressure.

What is right basal ganglia?

The basal ganglia are neurons deep in the brain that are key to movement, perception, and judgment. Neurons are brain cells that act as messengers by sending signals throughout the nervous system. Any injury to the basal ganglia can have serious, potentially long-term effects on your movement, perception, or judgment.

What is basal ganglia hemorrhage?

Basal ganglia hemorrhage is a common form of intracerebral hemorrhage, and usually as a result of poorly controlled long-standing hypertension. The stigmata of chronic hypertensive encephalopathy are often present (see cerebral microhemorrhages). Other sites of hypertensive hemorrhages are the pons and the cerebellum.

How do you code CVA?

Coding Guidelines Residual neurological effects of a stroke or cerebrovascular accident (CVA) should be documented using CPT category I69 codes indicating sequelae of cerebrovascular disease.

What is the term for a stroke that occurs when there is disruption of blood flow to brain tissue?

stroke occurs when there is disruption of blood flow to brain tissue, this leads to ischemia (deprivation of oxygen) and potentially infarction (dysfunctional scar tissue). Strokes can be either hemorrhagic, or embolic/thrombotic. Hemorrhagic strokes occur as a result of a ruptured cerebral blood vessel. Embolic/thrombic strokes occur as a result of an obstructed cerebral vessel.

What is a Lacunar Infarction?

Lacunar infarctions result from occlusion in the deep penetrating single small perforating artery in the deep cerebral white matter, basal ganglia, thalamus and brain stem. These small arteries supplies blood to the subcortical areas (deep structures) of the brain. Most of these infarctions are silent.
