I63.521
ICD-10-CMCerebral infarction due to unspecified occlusion or stenosis of right anterior cerebral artery
This code signifies a stroke resulting from a blockage or narrowing of the right anterior cerebral artery, where the specific nature of the occlusion or stenosis is not documented. This condition leads to tissue death in the brain region supplied by this artery, typically affecting motor and sensory functions of the contralateral lower limb.
Use this code for patients diagnosed with an acute cerebral infarction confirmed by imaging (e.g., CT, MRI) that is localized to the right anterior cerebral artery territory. Documentation must clearly state that the cause is an occlusion or stenosis, but the specific type (e.g., thrombotic, embolic) is not identified.
