ICD-10 | Cerebrovascular disease, unspecified (I67. 9)
Sequelae are residual effects or conditions produced after the acute phase of an illness or injury has ended. Therefore there is no time limit on when a sequela code can be assigned. Residuals may be apparent early on such as in cerebral infarction, or they can occur months or years later.....

ICD-10-CM Code for Sequelae of cerebral infarction I69. 3.
The term cerebrovascular disease includes all disorders in which an area of the brain is temporarily or permanently affected by ischemia or bleeding and one or more of the cerebral blood vessels are involved in the pathological process.
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. Codes I60-67 specify hemiplegia, hemiparesis, and monoplegia and identify whether the dominant or nondominant side is affected.
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.
History of Stroke (ICD-10 code Z86. 73) should be used when the patient is being seen in an out patient setting subsequent to an inpatient stay. In addition, this code should be used when the patient does not exhibit neurologic deficits due to cerebrovascular disease (i.e., no late effects due to stroke).
