ICD-10 Code I69.812 – Visuospatial Deficit and Spatial Neglect Following Other Cerebrovascular Disease (2026): Diagnosis, Symptoms & Billing Guide
2026 ICD-10-CM Diagnosis Code I69.812 – Visuospatial deficit and spatial neglect following other cerebrovascular disease
What it is
I69.812 identifies a visuospatial deficit or spatial neglect that remains after a cerebrovascular event. Use it when the patient has trouble perceiving or attending to one side of space because of prior stroke or similar vascular brain injury.
Clinical signs
Typical findings include ignoring objects or people on one side, bumping into items, or difficulty with navigation and visual attention. Clinical features vary; refer to documentation for the specific deficit and laterality if noted.
When to use this code
Use this code for documented residual spatial neglect or visuospatial impairment that is linked to a previous cerebrovascular disease. It is appropriate in follow-up care when the acute stroke phase has passed and the deficit persists. Code only when the provider clearly documents the sequela.
Do not use for
Do not use it for acute stroke symptoms, nonspecific confusion, or visual loss without documented neglect. If the record does not connect the deficit to prior cerebrovascular disease, check documentation.
Coding tip
Link the residual deficit to the prior cerebrovascular condition in the chart before assigning I69.812.
