Psychomotor deficit following other cerebrovascular disease

This code signifies a motor and cognitive impairment affecting the speed and coordination of thought and movement, occurring as a residual effect of a cerebrovascular event other than a stroke (e.g., transient ischemic attack, cerebral aneurysm rupture, or other non-stroke cerebral infarction). Patients may exhibit slowed reactions, difficulty with fine motor skills, or impaired processing speed.

Apply this code when documentation clearly indicates a psychomotor deficit (e.g., bradykinesia, impaired coordination, slowed cognitive processing affecting motor tasks) that is a sequela of a cerebrovascular disease other than a stroke. This code is appropriate for chronic or long-term deficits observed after the acute phase of the cerebrovascular event has passed.

• Ensure the documentation specifies "psychomotor deficit" and links it directly to a non-stroke cerebrovascular event.
• Do not use this code for psychomotor deficits following a stroke; refer to the I69.3- category for post-stroke deficits.
• Always sequence this code after the code identifying the specific type of cerebrovascular disease (e.g., I67.1, I67.89) if the underlying condition is still active or relevant.
