ICD-10 Code I69.112 – Visuospatial Deficit and Spatial Neglect Following Nontraumatic Intracerebral Hemorrhage (2026): Diagnosis, Symptoms & Billing Guide
2026 ICD-10-CM Diagnosis Code I69.112 – Visuospatial deficit and spatial neglect following nontraumatic intracerebral hemorrhage
What it is
I69.112 identifies a visuospatial deficit or spatial neglect that remains after a nontraumatic intracerebral hemorrhage. Use it when the patient has difficulty perceiving, attending to, or responding to one side of space because of prior brain bleeding.
Clinical signs
Typical findings include ignoring objects or people on one side, bumping into items, poor dressing or grooming on one side, and difficulty copying or navigating space. Clinical features vary; refer to documentation.
When to use this code
Use this code when the record clearly documents a persistent visuospatial deficit or spatial neglect as a sequela of a nontraumatic intracerebral hemorrhage. It is appropriate in follow-up care, rehabilitation, or outpatient notes when the deficit is still present. You should link the condition to the prior hemorrhagic stroke in the documentation.
Do not use for
Do not use it for acute intracerebral hemorrhage without a documented residual deficit. Do not assign it if the chart only says “stroke history” or the spatial problem is unrelated to the hemorrhage; check documentation.
Coding tip
Code the sequela only when the residual deficit is documented as due to the prior nontraumatic intracerebral hemorrhage.
