I69: Sequelae of cerebrovascular disease
I69.3: Sequelae of cerebral infarction
A stroke is when the brain tissue no longer gets enough blood. The brain tissue gets damaged as a result. Problems may appear shortly after a stroke. These problems may also be long-term. Sometimes, too, certain problems only develop after a long time has passed. Symptoms might be difficulties speaking, for example. One might also be no longer able to move certain parts of one’s body properly, or one may be unable to remember things properly.
