KA40.04

ICD-11 MMS 2026-01

Subarachnoid haemorrhage due to birth injury

Description

Haemorrhage within the subarachnoid space (the area between the arachnoid membrane and the pia matter) due to either leakage from the leptomeningeal plexus or rupture of bridging veins within the subarachnoid space.

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.
