Cerebral infrc due to thombos of bi middle cerebral arteries

This code signifies a stroke resulting from a blood clot forming within and obstructing both the left and right middle cerebral arteries. This leads to tissue death (infarction) in the brain regions supplied by these major arteries, typically affecting motor and sensory function, speech, and cognition.

Use this code when documentation clearly indicates an acute cerebral infarction caused by thrombotic occlusion of both middle cerebral arteries. Supporting documentation should include imaging reports (e.g., MRI, CT angiography) confirming bilateral middle cerebral artery thrombosis and clinical findings consistent with stroke.

• Ensure documentation specifies "thrombosis" as the cause, not embolism or unspecified occlusion.
• Verify that both middle cerebral arteries are explicitly stated as affected.
• Sequence this code as the primary diagnosis when it is the reason for the encounter.
