(I69.8) Sequelae of other and unspecified cerebrovascular diseases

Sequelae of other and unspecified cerebrovascular diseases occur when a person has suffered a stroke, transient ischemic attack, or other cerebrovascular event, and has residual neurological deficits or functional impairments as a result. these impairments may include cognitive, physical, or psychological deficits.

The pathogenesis of sequelae of other and unspecified cerebrovascular diseases is caused by the disruption of the blood supply to the brain, leading to a lack of oxygen and nutrients to the brain tissue. this can cause damage to the brain, resulting in a range of neurological symptoms such as seizures, cognitive impairment, and motor deficits. furthermore, the damage can also lead to other complications such as stroke, aneurysm, and hydrocephalus.
