Memory deficit following other ntrm intcrn hemorrhage

This code signifies a cognitive impairment characterized by difficulty with memory that occurs as a residual effect of a nontraumatic intracranial hemorrhage. This deficit is a long-term consequence, not an acute symptom of the hemorrhage itself.

Use this code when documentation clearly indicates a persistent memory deficit attributed to a prior, non-traumatic intracranial hemorrhage (e.g., hemorrhagic stroke, aneurysm rupture). The patient's medical record should specify the type of hemorrhage and the ongoing memory issues.

• Ensure the intracranial hemorrhage was explicitly documented as "nontraumatic." If traumatic, a different code from the TBI sequelae category would be appropriate.
• This code is for the sequela (residual effect), not the acute hemorrhage. It should be sequenced after the code for the specific type of nontraumatic intracranial hemorrhage (e.g., I60.-, I61.-, I62.-) if the patient is still being treated for the effects of the hemorrhage.
• Distinguish from transient memory loss or acute confusion during the initial hemorrhage event; this code represents a chronic, established deficit.
