Hemorrhagic Stroke ICD-10-CM Codes

The rupture of a blood vessel in the brain causes hemorrhagic strokes. Common causes include high blood pressure, aneurysms, arteriovenous malformations, and certain medications or drugs.

Treatment focuses on stopping the bleeding, removing the blood clot, and relieving the pressure on the brain. This might involve medications, surgery, or other interventions.

Both types of strokes are serious, but hemorrhagic strokes have a higher mortality rate and can cause more significant brain damage due to bleeding and increased pressure.
