Traum hemor right cerebrum w/o LOC, sequela

This code signifies a long-term effect or complication arising from a traumatic bleeding event within the right cerebral hemisphere, where the patient did not experience a loss of consciousness at the time of the original injury. It indicates that the patient is currently experiencing residual symptoms or conditions directly attributable to that past cerebral hemorrhage.

Apply this code when documentation clearly indicates a current condition or symptom that is a direct consequence of a previously sustained traumatic hemorrhage in the right cerebrum, and the initial injury did not involve a loss of consciousness. This code is appropriate for follow-up encounters addressing these persistent sequelae, not the initial acute injury.

• Ensure documentation explicitly links the current condition to the past traumatic right cerebral hemorrhage.
• This "S" seventh character indicates sequela; do not use for acute or subsequent encounters related to the initial injury.
• Always sequence this code after the primary diagnosis describing the specific sequela being treated (e.g., hemiparesis, cognitive deficits).
