I67: Other cerebrovascular diseases
I67.8: Other specified cerebrovascular diseases
Other specified cerebrovascular diseases, as categorized under ICD-10 code I67.8, refer to a variety of health conditions that affect the blood vessels and the flow of blood to the brain. These conditions occur when the blood vessels that supply the brain become narrowed, blocked, or burst, resulting in a lack of blood flow to certain parts of the brain. This can lead to symptoms such as sudden numbness or weakness, usually on one side of the body, trouble speaking or understanding speech, loss of balance, and severe headaches. The effects of these diseases on the body can vary greatly, but they often lead to disability or impairment. While these cerebrovascular diseases can occur in anyone, risk factors include high blood pressure, smoking, obesity, and a family history of such conditions.
