G45.9:
- Transient cerebral ischemia
- Transient ischemic attack
Clinical Information
- A brief attack (from a few minutes to an hour) of cerebral dysfunction of vascular origin, with no persistent neurological deficit.
- A disorder characterized by a brief attack (less than 24 hours) of cerebral dysfunction of vascular origin, with no persistent neurological deficit.
- A transient ischemic attack (tia) is a stroke that comes and goes quickly. It happens when the blood supply to part of the brain stops briefly. Symptoms of a tia are like other stroke symptoms, but do not last as long. They happen suddenly, and include
- numbness or weakness, especially on one side of the body
- confusion or trouble speaking or understanding speech
- trouble seeing in one or both eyes
- loss of balance or coordination
most symptoms of a tia disappear within an hour, although they may last for up to 24 hours. Because you cannot tell if these symptoms are from a tia or a stroke, you should get to the hospital quickly. Tias are often a warning sign for future strokes. Taking medicine, such as blood thinners, may reduce your risk of a stroke. Your doctor might also recommend surgery.
- Brief reversible episodes of focal, nonconvulsive ischemic dysfunction of the brain having a duration of less than 24 hours, and usually less than one hour, caused by transient thrombotic or embolic blood vessel occlusion or stenosis. Events may be classified by arterial distribution, temporal pattern, or etiology (e.g., embolic vs. Thrombotic). (from Adams et al., Principles of Neurology, 6th ed, pp814-6)
- Mini stroke which is recoverable
- Recurring, transient episodes of neurologic dysfunction caused by cerebral ischemia; onset is usually sudden, often when the patient is active; the attack may last a few seconds to several hours; neurologic symptoms depend on the artery involved.
ICD-10-CM G45.9 is grouped within Diagnostic Related Group(s) (MS-DRG v40.0):
- 061 Ischemic stroke, precerebral occlusion or transient ischemia with thrombolytic agent with mcc
- 062 Ischemic stroke, precerebral occlusion or transient ischemia with thrombolytic agent with cc
- 063 Ischemic stroke, precerebral occlusion or transient ischemia with thrombolytic agent without cc/mcc
- 069 Transient ischemia without thrombolytic
