I60-I69: Cerebrovascular diseases
I62: Other nontraumatic intracranial haemorrhage
Other nontraumatic intracranial haemorrhage refers to a group of conditions characterized by bleeding within the skull that is not caused by a physical injury. This bleeding occurs within the brain or between the brain and the skull. Common causes of these conditions include blood vessel abnormalities, high blood pressure, or blood-thinning medicines. Symptoms typically include sudden, severe headaches, weakness or numbness on one side of the body, difficulty speaking or understanding speech, loss of balance and coordination, and changes in vision. The progression of these conditions can be rapid, causing severe damage to the brain and nervous system. In severe cases, these conditions can be life-threatening. It's important to remember that symptoms can differ based on where the bleeding in the brain occurs and the extent of the bleeding.
