When a patient has a history of cerebrovascular disease without any sequelae or late effects, ICD-10 code Z86. 73 should be assigned.
Definition. A brain lesion is an abnormality seen on a brain-imaging test, such as magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) or computerized tomography (CT). On CT or MRI scans, brain lesions appear as dark or light spots that don't look like normal brain tissue.
2022 ICD-10-CM Diagnosis Code G31. 1: Senile degeneration of brain, not elsewhere classified.
ICD-10 code G91. 9 for Hydrocephalus, unspecified is a medical classification as listed by WHO under the range - Diseases of the nervous system .
ICD-10 code R90. 82 for White matter disease, unspecified is a medical classification as listed by WHO under the range - Symptoms, signs and abnormal clinical and laboratory findings, not elsewhere classified .

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.
Stroke Center. A stroke, also referred to as a cerebral vascular accident (CVA) or a brain attack, is an interruption in the flow of blood to cells in the brain. When the cells in the brain are deprived of oxygen, they die.
Cerebrovascular accidents are caused by blood clots and broken blood vessels in the brain. Symptoms include dizziness, numbness, weakness on one side of the body, and problems with talking, writing, or understanding language.
A primary malignant neoplasm that overlaps two or more contiguous (next to each other) sites should be classified to the subcategory/code .8 ('overlapping lesion'), unless the combination is specifically indexed elsewhere.
secondary carcinoid tumors ( C7B.-) secondary neuroendocrine tumors ( C7B.-) A malignant neoplasm that has spread to the brain from another anatomic site or system. The majority are carcinomas (usually lung or breast carcinomas). Cancer that has spread from the original (primary) tumor to the brain.

This is the official approximate match mapping between ICD9 and ICD10, as provided by the General Equivalency mapping crosswalk. This means that while there is no exact mapping between this ICD10 code C79.31 and a single ICD9 code, 198.3 is an approximate match for comparison and conversion purposes.
Conditions that cause cerebral edema include traumatic brain injuries, ischemic and hemorrhagic strokes, brain tumors, infection, altitude sickness, electrolyte derangements, and toxins. However, the development of cerebral edema isn’t invariable; for instance, not all brain tumors have surrounding vasogenic edema.
The coder is not permitted to code exclusively from a radiology report.
Have cerebral edema be woven into the notes repeatedly, not just once in a single note. They should link the treatment and monitoring with the condition (e.g., “will start on Decadron for the cerebral edema and get repeat MRI in two weeks.”). It should also be present in the discharge summary.
If there is any loss of consciousness, in addition to those two diagnoses, there are 337 traumatic conditions, which exclude traumatic cerebral edema as a MCC. These conditions include facial and skull fractures and other types of injuries, traumatic brain injuries and hemorrhages, suicide attempts, and traumatic compartment syndromes.
It often magnifies or complicates the clinical features of the primary underlying condition. The only Excludes 1 instructions are that a patient can’t have non- traumatic and traumatic cerebral edema concomitantly.
It is easier to fix it on the front end than to rework it on the basis of a clinical validation denial. Cerebral edema is a legitimate, valid, important diagnosis. Get it documented in a codable format and code it.
