Periventricular white matter hypodensities (Concept Id: C4022720) Multiple areas of darker than expected signal on magnetic resonance imaging emanating from the cerebral white matter that surrounds the cerebral ventricles. Periventricular white matter hypodensities
White matter disease ICD-10-CM R90.82 is grouped within Diagnostic Related Group (s) (MS-DRG v38.0): 091 Other disorders of nervous system with mcc 092 Other disorders of nervous system with cc
Strokes, fatal or nonfatal, occurred in 51 (15%) of the patients with diffuse hypodensity of the cerebral white matter, compared to 217 (8%) in the group with normal white matter (crude hazard ratio, 2.0; 95% confidence interval, 1.4-2.7).
On entry, 337 patients were judged to have diffuse hypodensity of the white matter on CT; they were older (71.4 +/- 7.4 years versus 64.4 +/- 9.9 years), more often had hypertension (50% versus 41%), and more often had lacunar infarcts on CT scan (40% versus 26%) than did patients with normal white matter.
White matter disease, unspecified R90. 82 is a billable/specific ICD-10-CM code that can be used to indicate a diagnosis for reimbursement purposes. The 2022 edition of ICD-10-CM R90. 82 became effective on October 1, 2021.

Microvascular ischemic disease is a term that's used to describe changes to the small blood vessels in the brain. Changes to these vessels can damage white matter — the brain tissue that contains nerve fibers and serves as the connection point to other parts of the brain.
Cerebral ischemia is a common mechanism of acute brain injury that results from impaired blood flow to the brain. Cerebral ischemia represents a medical emergency; if untreated, it can result in cerebral infarctions or global hypoxic-ischemic encephalopathy, which can result in death or permanent disability.
Microangiopathy is one of the major complications of diabetes mellitus. The small blood vessel changes affecting the retinal and renal vasculature are responsible for blindness and kidney failure. Microvascular pathology has also been assumed to play a role in diabetic neuropathy and in the so-called diabetic foot.
In premature infants (babies born too early), however, the periventricular white matter is a common area. of damage when an event happens that causes a lack of oxygen to the brain. Periventricular white matter. changes in premature infants typically occurs near the collateral trigone. The collateral trigone is a.
Periventricular white matter refers to white. matter that is immediately to the side of the. two lateral (side) ventricles of the brain. This. is shown in the second picture below. The. lateral ventricles are two curved openings. (shaped like a horseshoe) located deep. within the top section of the brain.
The temporal lobes are located on the sides of the brain behind. the ears. The parietal lobe is the middle area of the top part of the brain. Periventricular. white matter located near the frontal lobes is called frontal periventricular white matter.
The frontal lobes are located in the front of the brain and the occipital lobes are located. in the back of the brain. The temporal lobes are located on the sides of the brain behind.
Periventricular white matter changes means that there has been some change in the structure of the. white matter near the ventricles of the brain. This finding does not necessarily mean that something. serious, like a disease, has caused it. In fact, the most common cause of periventricular white matter.
MRI stands for Magnetic. Resonance Imaging. MRI scans produce extremely detailed pictures of the inside of the body by using. very powerful magnets and computer technology. Possible causes of periventricular white matter changes include Binswanger's disease, stroke, migraine.
changes in premature infants typically occurs near the collateral trigone. The collateral trigone is a. triangle-shaped prominence on the floor of the lateral ventricle. In people over age 65, research has shown that periventricular white matter changes are found between.
