My thoughts, under the new ICD-10 rules, it is a 'specified' stroke; tho not specific enough for a location and therefore would be best defined as I63.8 which is 'Other' Cerebral Infarction vs I63.9 which is Cerebral infarction, Unspecified (Stroke NOS). What do ya'll think? Thank you!

The 2022 edition of ICD-10-CM I63. 412 became effective on October 1, 2021. This is the American ICD-10-CM version of I63.
The new code that is reported for lacunar infarction is: I63. 81—Other cerebral infarction due to occlusion or stenosis of small artery.
Without blood and nutrients, your brain tissue quickly begins to die, which can have lasting effects. A thalamic stroke is a type of lacunar stroke, which refers to a stroke in a deep part of your brain. Thalamic strokes occur in your thalamus, a small but important part of your brain.
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.
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.
89 Other cerebral infarction Code I63. 81 includes lacunar infarction to align with the World Health Organization's indexing of this condition.
Lacunar infarcts are small infarcts (2–20 mm in diameter) in the deep cerebral white matter, basal ganglia, or pons, presumed to result from the occlusion of a single small perforating artery supplying the subcortical areas of the brain.
The 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.
It usually is caused by a blood clot or bleed within the brain. A thalamic stroke is a specific type of stroke that blocks blood flow to the region of the brain known as the thalamus.
2. Acute Ischemic Stroke (ICD-10 code I63.
Sometimes it can take months or even years after a thalamic stroke for pain to develop. It is a relatively common complication, affecting up to 8% of individuals following a stroke.
