KA40.00

ICD-11 MMS 2026-01

Subdural haemorrhage due to birth injury

Description

Haemorrhage into the subdural space (between the dura and the arachnoid) resulting from traumatic tearing of the bridging veins and venous sinuses due to rotational movement of the brain secondary to a traumatic delivery.

Coding note from above levels

Conditions arising in the perinatal period, even though death or morbidity occurs later, should, as far as possible, be coded to chapter 19, which takes precedence over chapters containing codes for diseases by their anatomical site. For children less than 28 days old, assume that a reported condition developed in the perinatal period, unless the duration is stated and the onset was after the first completed week of life.
