Traumatic cerebral edema

Not billableICD-10-CM diagnosis code.

This code exists but cannot be submitted on its own. It groups the more specific codes beneath it.

A category header for its whole life, FY2016 onwards. It has never been valid for submission on its own.

Submit one of these 11 more specific codes instead:

  • S06.1X0 Traumatic cerebral edema without loss of consciousness (also a header)
  • S06.1X1 Traumatic cerebral edema with loss of consciousness of 30 minutes or less (also a header)
  • S06.1X2 Traumatic cerebral edema with loss of consciousness of 31 minutes to 59 minutes (also a header)
  • S06.1X3 Traumatic cerebral edema with loss of consciousness of 1 hour to 5 hours 59 minutes (also a header)
  • S06.1X4 Traumatic cerebral edema with loss of consciousness of 6 hours to 24 hours (also a header)
  • S06.1X5 Traumatic cerebral edema with loss of consciousness greater than 24 hours with return to pre-existing conscious level (also a header)
  • S06.1X6 Traumatic cerebral edema with loss of consciousness greater than 24 hours without return to pre-existing conscious level with patient surviving (also a header)
  • S06.1X7 Traumatic cerebral edema with loss of consciousness of any duration with death due to brain injury prior to regaining consciousness (also a header)
  • S06.1X8 Traumatic cerebral edema with loss of consciousness of any duration with death due to other cause prior to regaining consciousness (also a header)
  • S06.1X9 Traumatic cerebral edema with loss of consciousness of unspecified duration (also a header)
  • S06.1XA Traumatic cerebral edema with loss of consciousness status unknown (also a header)
