Contus/lac/hem crblm w LOC of 31-59 min, init

This code signifies a traumatic brain injury involving bruising, tearing, and bleeding within the cerebellum, specifically when the patient experiences a loss of consciousness lasting between 31 and 59 minutes. This indicates a moderate severity of cerebellar injury.

Apply this code for patients presenting with a documented contusion, laceration, and hemorrhage of the cerebellum following trauma, where the medical record clearly states a loss of consciousness duration between 31 and 59 minutes. This code is appropriate for the initial treatment of the injury.

• Ensure documentation explicitly states "contusion," "laceration," and "hemorrhage" of the cerebellum, not just one or two of these findings.
• Verify the exact duration of loss of consciousness; codes vary significantly based on this timeframe.
• The "A" seventh character indicates an initial encounter for active treatment of the injury.
