This code describes a traumatic injury to the cerebellum involving bruising, tearing, and bleeding, where the patient experienced any duration of loss of consciousness. Crucially, the patient died from an unrelated cause before regaining consciousness from the cerebellar injury.

Use this code for patients who sustained a cerebellar contusion, laceration, and hemorrhage with associated loss of consciousness, and whose death occurred due to a separate, non-neurological cause before they recovered from the unconscious state. Documentation must clearly indicate the specific cerebellar injury, loss of consciousness, and the timing of death relative to regaining consciousness.

• Ensure documentation specifies contusion, laceration, AND hemorrhage of the cerebellum.
• Verify that the patient's death was due to an other cause and occurred prior to regaining consciousness.
• This code is for the initial encounter for the injury.
