Intraventricular hemorrhage, grade 3, of newborn

Intraventricular (nontraumatic) hemorrhage, grade 3, of newborn

📋Clinical Description

This code signifies a severe, non-traumatic bleeding event within the brain's ventricular system in a newborn. Specifically, it indicates a Grade 3 hemorrhage, characterized by extensive intraventricular bleeding with ventricular dilation. This condition can lead to significant neurological complications in the neonate.

🎯When to Use

This code is appropriate when documentation confirms a diagnosis of Grade 3 intraventricular hemorrhage (IVH) in a newborn, not caused by trauma. Clinical scenarios include premature infants diagnosed with IVH via cranial ultrasound or MRI, where the bleeding extends into the ventricles and causes ventricular enlargement.

💡Coding Tips

Ensure the documentation clearly specifies "Grade 3" and "nontraumatic" to support this code.
Distinguish from other grades of IVH (P52.0-P52.1, P52.20, P52.22-P52.3) based on the extent of bleeding and ventricular involvement.
Always sequence this code after any underlying conditions contributing to the IVH, such as extreme prematurity (P07.0-P07.1).
