Vis def/sptl nglct following other cerebrovascular disease

This code signifies a neurological impairment characterized by difficulty processing and interpreting visual and spatial information, often accompanied by an inability to attend to one side of space, occurring as a sequela of a cerebrovascular event other than a stroke or intracranial hemorrhage. Patients may exhibit problems with navigation, object recognition, drawing, or dressing, and neglect of one side of their body or environment.

Apply this code when documentation clearly indicates a patient presents with visuospatial deficits and/or spatial neglect that is directly attributed to a past cerebrovascular disease, such as a transient ischemic attack (TIA) or cerebral vasculitis, but not an acute stroke or hemorrhage. Supporting documentation should include neurological assessments, imaging reports confirming the cerebrovascular event, and clinical notes detailing the specific cognitive impairments.

• Ensure the documentation specifies "other cerebrovascular disease" as the etiology, not an acute stroke (I60-I63) or intracranial hemorrhage (I60-I62).
• Do not use this code for acute visuospatial deficits or neglect; it is for sequelae (residual effects).
• Code any underlying or active cerebrovascular disease separately, if applicable and still present.
