ICD-10 Code I61.4 – Nontraumatic intracerebral hemorrhage in cerebellum (2026): Diagnosis, Symptoms & Billing Guide
2026 ICD-10-CM Diagnosis Code I61.4 – Nontraumatic intracerebral hemorrhage in cerebellum
What it is
I61.4 identifies a spontaneous bleed within the cerebellum, the part of the brain that helps coordinate movement and balance. Use it when the hemorrhage is not caused by trauma.
Clinical signs
Clinical features vary; refer to documentation. Commonly documented findings include sudden headache, vomiting, dizziness, ataxia, and difficulty with coordination, speech, or gait.
When to use this code
Use I61.4 when the provider documents a nontraumatic intracerebellar hemorrhage, or a spontaneous cerebellar bleed. It may appear on imaging reports, discharge summaries, or problem lists when the bleed is localized to the cerebellum. Check documentation if the cause or site is unclear.
Do not use for
Do not use this code for traumatic intracranial hemorrhage, subarachnoid hemorrhage, or hemorrhage in another brain location. If the record says only “intracranial hemorrhage” without cerebellar site, check documentation.
Coding tip
Confirm both “nontraumatic” and “cerebellum” are documented before assigning I61.4.
