For ischaemic stroke, the main codes are ICD-8 433/434 and ICD-9 434 (occlusion of the cerebral arteries), and ICD-10 I63 (cerebral infarction).
I63. 522 Cerebral infarction due to unspecified occlus... I63. 523 Cerebral infarction due to unspecified occlus...
ST elevation (STEMI) myocardial infarction of unspecified site. I21. 3 is a billable/specific ICD-10-CM code that can be used to indicate a diagnosis for reimbursement purposes.
2022 ICD-10-CM Diagnosis Code I63. 412: Cerebral infarction due to embolism of left middle cerebral artery.
In addition to having a stroke in the thalamus, you could also suffer from a thalamic infarct. An infarct is when the stroke cuts off oxygen to your tissue to the degree that the tissue dies. Depending on the severity and location within the thalamus, infarcts can present long-lasting and serious consequences.
There are mainly two types of MI such as: ST Elevation Myocardial Infarction (STEMI): This is also known as Transmural Acute MI and occurs as a result of atherosclerosis involving a major coronary artery.
410.21 - Acute myocardial infarction of inferolateral wall, initial episode of care | ICD-10-CM.
Acute anterior wall ST-elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) classically presents with ST-segment elevations in one or more precordial leads. Usually, ST-elevation in lead V1 signifies infarction of the interventricular septum. ST-elevation in leads V2–V4 indicates infarction of the anterior (or anteroapical) wall.
Ischemic strokes and Hemorrhagic strokes can cause lesioning in the thalamus. So if you have Dx as a Thalamic Stroke then as per Index of diseases of ICD 9 CM, 434.91 is the only option.
What causes thalamic stroke? Like other types of stroke, thalamic stroke can be caused by a blood clot blocking blood flow to the thalamus (ischemic). Or it can be caused by bleeding from a blood vessel in the thalamus (hemorrhagic).
diencephalonThe thalamus is a paired gray matter structure of the diencephalon located near the center of the brain. It is above the midbrain or mesencephalon, allowing for nerve fiber connections to the cerebral cortex in all directions — each thalamus connects to the other via the interthalamic adhesion.
The most common type of stroke is ischemic. Ischemic stroke occurs when a clot blocks a blood vessel that feeds the brain. You may also hear the term cerebral infarction in connection with ischemic stroke. An infarct is an area of necrosis (tissue death) due to the blood vessel blockage.
Cerebrovascular accident (also known as CVA) is the medical term for a stroke. A stroke occurs when the blood supply to part of your brain is interrupted or reduced, preventing brain tissue from getting oxygen and nutrients. Brain cells begin to die in minutes.
The quicker you can get a diagnosis and treatment for a stroke, the better your prognosis will be. For this reason, it’s important to understand and recognize the symptoms of a stroke.
Emergency treatment for stroke depends on whether you’re having an ischemic stroke or a stroke that involves bleeding into the brain. To treat an ischemic stroke, doctors must quickly restore blood flow to your brain.
A cerebral infarction is a type of ischemic stroke resulting from a blockage in the blood vessels supplying blood to the brain. It can be atherothrombotic or embolic. Stroke caused by cerebral infarction should be distinguished from two other kinds of stroke: cerebral hemorrhage and subarachnoid hemorrhage.

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 I63.512 and a single ICD9 code, 434.91 is an approximate match for comparison and conversion purposes.
Chapter 16 of ICD-9-CM, Symptoms, Signs, and Ill-defined conditions (codes 780.0 - 799.9) contain many, but not all codes for symptoms.
The conventions for the ICD-9-CM are the general rules for use of the classification independent of the guidelines. These conventions are incorporated within the index and tabular of the ICD -9-CM as instructional notes. The conventions are as follows:
Codes under category 250, Diabetes mellitus, identify complications/manifestations associated with diabetes mellitus. A fifth-digit is required for all category 250 codes to identify the type of diabetes mellitus and whether the diabetes is controlled or uncontrolled.
If a patient is documented as having both MRSA colonization and infection during a hospital admission, code V02.54, Carrier or suspected carrier, Methicillin resistant Staphylococcus aureus, and a code for the MRSA infection may both be assigned.
Codes from categories 760-763, Maternal causes of perinatal morbidity and mortality, are assigned only when the maternal condition has actually affected the fetus or newborn. The fact that the mother has an associated medical condition or experiences some complication of pregnancy, labor or delivery does not justify the routine assignment of codes from these categories to the newborn record.
When coding the birth of an infant, assign a code from categories V30-V39, according to the type of birth. A code from this series is assigned as a principal diagnosis, and assigned only once to a newborn at the time of birth.
late effect is the residual effect (condition produced) after the acute phase of an illness or injury has terminated. There is no time limit on when a late effect code can be used. The residual may be apparent early, such as in cerebrovascular accident cases, or it may occur months or years later, such as that due to a previous injury. Coding of late effects generally requires two codes sequenced in the following order: The condition or nature of the late effect is sequenced first. The late effect code is sequenced second.
I66.01 is a valid billable ICD-10 diagnosis code for Occlusion and stenosis of right middle cerebral artery . It is found in the 2021 version of the ICD-10 Clinical Modification (CM) and can be used in all HIPAA-covered transactions from Oct 01, 2020 - Sep 30, 2021 .
DO NOT include the decimal point when electronically filing claims as it may be rejected. Some clearinghouses may remove it for you but to avoid having a rejected claim due to an invalid ICD-10 code, do not include the decimal point when submitting claims electronically.
