Transient cerebral ischemic attack, unspecified. G45.9 is a billable/specific ICD-10-CM code that can be used to indicate a diagnosis for reimbursement purposes. The 2019 edition of ICD-10-CM G45.9 became effective on October 1, 2018.
Having a TIA is a risk factor for eventually having a stroke or a silent stroke. Specialty: Neurology. MeSH Code: D002546. ICD 9 Code: 435.9. Source: Wikipedia.
G45.9 is a billable ICD code used to specify a diagnosis of transient cerebral ischemic attack, unspecified. A 'billable code' is detailed enough to be used to specify a medical diagnosis.
A transient ischemic attack (TIA) is a transient episode of neurologic dysfunction caused by ischemia (loss of blood flow) – either focal brain, spinal cord, or retinal – without acute infarction (tissue death). TIAs have the same underlying cause as strokes: a disruption of cerebral blood flow ...
Symptoms caused by a TIA resolve in 24 hours or less . TIAs cause the same symptoms associated with stroke, such as contralateral paralysis (opposite side of body from affected brain hemisphere) or sudden weakness or numbness.
Billable codes are sufficient justification for admission to an acute care hospital when used a principal diagnosis.
If a provider documents “ TIA ”, it is coded as 435.9; if a • provider documents “stroke”, it is coded as 434.91. If a patient has had a TIA or a stroke with no residual • deficits, it would be appropriate to document “History of TIA ” or “History of stroke” respectively, and to code V12.
The warning signs for a TIA are the same as a stroke and sudden onset of the following: Weakness, numbness or paralysis on one side of your body. Slurred speech or difficulty understanding others. Blindness in one or both eyes. Dizziness. Severe headache with no apparent cause.
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 . If the symptoms are temporary without permanent brain damage, the event is called a transient ischemic attack ( TIA ).
Prior to a stroke, some victims may experience a Transient Ischemic Attack , or TIA , which is a temporary blockage of blood to the brain similar to a stroke. Also known as “mini-strokes,” TIAs leave no lasting brain damage or residual symptoms.
Rupture of an artery with bleeding into the brain (hemorrhage) is called a CVA , too. If the symptoms are temporary, usually lasting less than an hour without permanent brain damage, the event is called a transient ischemic attack ( TIA ).
A transient ischemic attack ( TIA ) is a temporary period of symptoms similar to those of a stroke. A TIA usually lasts only a few minutes and doesn’t cause permanent damage. Often called a ministroke, a transient ischemic attack may be a warning.
Assign code I69. 351, Hemiplegia and hemiparesis following cerebral infarction , affecting right dominant side, for the residual right-sided weakness due to cerebral infarction . When unilateral weakness is clearly documented as being associated with a stroke , it is considered synonymous with hemiparesis/hemiplegia.
Pathologic conditions affecting the brain, which is composed of the intracranial components of the central nervous system. This includes (but is not limited to) the cerebral cortex; intracranial white matter; basal ganglia; thalamus; hypothalamus; brain stem; and cerebellum. The brain is the control center of the body.

An ischemic condition of the brain, producing a persistent focal neurological deficit in the area of distribution of the cerebral arteries. In medicine, a loss of blood flow to part of the brain, which damages brain tissue. Strokes are caused by blood clots and broken blood vessels in the brain.
Stroke is classified by the type of tissue necrosis, such as the anatomic location, vasculature involved, etiology, age of the affected individual, and hemorrhagic vs. Non-hemorrhagic nature. (from Adams et al., Principles of Neurology, 6th ed, pp777-810) A stroke is a medical emergency.

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.
