Intraventricular (nontraumatic) hemorrhage, grade 2, of newborn
ICD-10 P52.1 is a billable code used to indicate a diagnosis of intraventricular (nontraumatic) hemorrhage, grade 2, of newborn.
Intraventricular hemorrhage (IVH) is a common condition in premature infants, particularly those born before 32 weeks of gestation. Grade 2 IVH indicates that there is bleeding in the ventricles of the brain, but it does not extend into the surrounding brain tissue. This condition is often associated with fluctuations in blood pressure, hypoxia, and other perinatal stressors. Clinically, it may present with signs such as lethargy, poor feeding, and abnormal tone. Diagnosis is typically confirmed through cranial ultrasound, which is routinely performed in at-risk neonates. Management may include supportive care, monitoring for complications, and addressing any underlying issues contributing to the hemorrhage. While many infants with grade 2 IVH may have favorable outcomes, there is a risk for long-term neurodevelopmental issues, necessitating ongoing follow-up and assessment.
Detailed cranial ultrasound reports, clinical assessments, and monitoring notes.
Infants born preterm presenting with lethargy and poor feeding, requiring NICU admission.
Accurate timing of imaging studies and correlation with clinical symptoms are crucial for coding.
Longitudinal follow-up notes documenting developmental milestones and any interventions.
Pediatric visits for developmental assessments in infants with a history of IVH.
Consideration of the long-term implications of IVH on developmental outcomes.
Used to diagnose IVH in at-risk neonates.
Cranial ultrasound report must be included in the medical record.
Neonatologists must ensure accurate interpretation of ultrasound findings.
Grade 2 IVH can lead to potential neurodevelopmental delays, and infants may require ongoing assessments to monitor their growth and development. Early intervention services may be beneficial for those affected.
