Persistent migraine aura with cerebral infarction, intractable, with status migrainosus
ICD-10 G43.611 is a billable code used to indicate a diagnosis of persistent migraine aura with cerebral infarction, intractable, with status migrainosus.
G43.611 refers to a severe and complex form of migraine characterized by persistent aura symptoms that last longer than the typical duration, often accompanied by cerebral infarction. This condition is classified as intractable, indicating that it does not respond to standard treatments and can lead to significant disability. Patients may experience prolonged visual disturbances, sensory changes, and other neurological symptoms that can mimic stroke. The presence of status migrainosus indicates that the migraine attacks are continuous and debilitating, lasting longer than 72 hours. This condition requires careful management and may necessitate hospitalization for acute treatment and preventive strategies. The interplay between migraine and cerebral infarction highlights the importance of timely diagnosis and intervention to prevent further neurological damage.
