Dysarthria following oth nontraumatic intcrn hemorrhage

This code signifies a speech disorder characterized by difficulty articulating words due to neurological damage, specifically occurring as a sequela of a nontraumatic intracranial hemorrhage other than a subarachnoid or intracerebral hemorrhage. It indicates impaired motor control of the muscles involved in speech production, resulting from a previous brain bleed not caused by trauma.

Use this code when documentation clearly links dysarthria as a residual effect of a nontraumatic intracranial hemorrhage, such as an intraventricular or subdural hemorrhage (when not traumatic). The patient's medical record should specify the type of nontraumatic intracranial hemorrhage and confirm that the dysarthria is a direct consequence of that event.

• Always sequence this code after the acute nontraumatic intracranial hemorrhage code, if still active, or as a primary diagnosis if the dysarthria is the focus of the encounter.
• Distinguish from aphasia (R47.01, R47.02, etc.), which is a language disorder, not a motor speech disorder.
• Ensure the documentation specifies "nontraumatic" and the specific type of intracranial hemorrhage if known, to differentiate from other sequelae codes.
