Traumatic Intracranial Hemorrhage ICD-10-CM Codes

Use a traumatic intracranial hemorrhage ICD-10 code when a patient presents with brain bleeding due to external trauma, such as a fall, motor vehicle accident, or blunt force injury. Accurate code selection depends on the hemorrhage type, location (e.g., left or right cerebrum), and whether loss of consciousness occurred.

Common treatments include observation, pain management, and medications to reduce brain swelling, control seizures, or support neurological function. Severe cases may require surgical interventions like craniotomy to remove hematomas or relieve intracranial pressure.

A diagnosis code for traumatic intracranial hemorrhage indicates bleeding within the brain caused by physical trauma. It provides details about the injury’s severity, location, loss of consciousness, and encounter type, helping guide treatment and billing.
