Unsp sequelae of other nontraumatic intracranial hemorrhage

This code describes the long-term, residual effects or complications arising from a non-traumatic intracranial hemorrhage, where the specific type of hemorrhage (e.g., subarachnoid, intracerebral) is not documented. These sequelae can include neurological deficits, cognitive impairments, or other lasting health problems that manifest after the acute phase of the hemorrhage has resolved.

Use this code when a patient presents with a chronic condition or deficit clearly attributed to a prior non-traumatic intracranial hemorrhage, but the medical record does not specify the original hemorrhage type. Documentation should clearly link the current condition as a sequela of a past intracranial hemorrhage and indicate the non-traumatic origin.

• Do not use this code if the specific type of non-traumatic intracranial hemorrhage (e.g., subarachnoid, intracerebral) is documented; instead, use the more specific sequelae codes (I69.0-I69.3).
• Always code the specific sequela (e.g., hemiplegia, aphasia) first, followed by this code to indicate the underlying cause.
• Ensure documentation explicitly states the non-traumatic nature of the original hemorrhage; otherwise, consider sequelae of traumatic intracranial injury (T90.5).
