The ICD-10-CM guidelines define a sequela as “the residual effect (condition produced) after the acute phase of an illness or injury has terminated.” The general coding guidelines in ICD-10-CM for coding of sequelae are essentially the same as coding of late effects in ICD-9-CM and are as follows:

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.
When to code Sequela. Seventh character 'S' is used for coding “complication or condition that arise for the direct result of the injury such as scar formation after a burn”. The scars are sequela of the burn. Sequelas are late effects of an injury.
ICD-10 code I69. 3 for Sequelae of cerebral infarction is a medical classification as listed by WHO under the range - Diseases of the circulatory system .
438.11 - Late effects of cerebrovascular disease, aphasia is a topic covered in the ICD-10-CM.
