I63. 9 - Cerebral infarction, unspecified. ICD-10-CM.
ICD-10-CM I67. 81 is grouped within Diagnostic Related Group(s) (MS-DRG v39.0): 061 Ischemic stroke, precerebral occlusion or transient ischemia with thrombolytic agent with mcc.
The new code that is reported for lacunar infarction is: I63. 81—Other cerebral infarction due to occlusion or stenosis of small artery.
Acute ischemic stroke occurs when blood flow through a brain artery is blocked by a clot, a mass of thickened blood. Clots are either thrombotic or embolic, depending on where they develop within the body. A thrombotic stroke, the most common of the two, occurs when a clot forms within an artery in the brain.
ICD-10 code: I63. 9 Cerebral infarction, unspecified.
For ischemic stroke for which no further information is available on the nature or location of the obstruction, the default diagnosis code is I63. 9, Cerebral infarction, unspecified.
Doctor's response. A cerebral infarction (also known as a stroke) refers to damage to tissues in the brain due to a loss of oxygen to the area. The mention of "arteriosclerotic cerebrovascular disease" refers to arteriosclerosis, or "hardening of the arteries" that supply oxygen-containing blood to the brain.
73 for Personal history of transient ischemic attack (TIA), and cerebral infarction without residual deficits is a medical classification as listed by WHO under the range - Factors influencing health status and contact with health services .
A lacunar stroke, also called a lacunar infarct, occurs when an artery that supplies blood to the deeper portions of the brain becomes blocked. Other types of strokes occur on the surface, or cortex, of the brain. Lacunar strokes represent anywhere from 15% to 25% of strokes.
Other cerebral infarction due to occlusion or stenosis of small artery. I63. 81 is a billable/specific ICD-10-CM code that can be used to indicate a diagnosis for reimbursement purposes.
89 Other cerebral infarction Code I63. 81 includes lacunar infarction to align with the World Health Organization's indexing of this condition.
Lacunar infarctions result from occlusion in the deep penetrating single small perforating artery in the deep cerebral white matter, basal ganglia, thalamus and brain stem. These small arteries supplies blood to the subcortical areas (deep structures) of the brain. Most of these infarctions are silent.
