Note: Because the hemiplegia has been clearly documented as directly related to a previous stroke, a code from category I69* should be assigned. Example B: Patient is seen today for routine follow-up.

Homonymous hemianopsia is a condition in which a person sees only one side ― right or left ― of the visual world of each eye. The condition results from a problem in brain function rather than a disorder of the eyes themselves.
Homonymous hemianopsia can be congenital, but is usually caused by brain injury such as from stroke, trauma, tumors, infection, or following surgery. Vascular and neoplastic (malignant or benign tumours) lesions from the optic tract, to visual cortex can cause a contralateral homonymous hemianopsia.
ICD-10-CM Code for Hemiplegia and hemiparesis following cerebral infarction affecting right dominant side I69. 351.
3 Homonymous hemianopia is a loss of the right or left halves of the visual field of both eyes (Figure 1a, 1b) and usually occurs as a result of a middle cerebral or posterior cerebral artery stroke affecting either the optic radiation or visual cortex of the occipital lobe (Figure 2).
The most common location of lesions resulting in HH is the occipital lobe (45%), followed by damage to the optic radiations (32%). The remainder is caused by lesions of the optic tract (10%), lateral geniculate nucleus (LGN) (1.3%), or a combination of several areas (11%).
Occlusion of the MCA results in paralysis and sensory loss of the contralateral face, upper limb, and, to a lesser degree, lower limb; homonymous hemianopsia; global aphasia if the dominant side is involved; and spatial neglect if the nondominant side is involved (eSlide 44.7).
The difference between partial hemianopia and complete hemianopia is how much of a patient's visual field is affected. Partial hemianopia means the patient has no visual stimulus in one quadrant of the visual field. Complete hemianopia describes having no visual stimulus in half of their visual field.
Hemianopia is when you lose sight in half of your visual field. This condition is not a problem with your eyes. It occurs after a stroke or other brain injury.

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 H53.462 and a single ICD9 code, 368.46 is an approximate match for comparison and conversion purposes.
Bitemporal hemianopsia (aka bitemporal heteronymous hemianopsia or bitemporal hemianopia) is the medical description of a type of partial blindness where vision is missing in the outer half of both the right and left visual field. It is usually associated with lesions of the optic chiasm, the area where the optic nerves from the right and left eyes cross near the pituitary gland.
