Intracranial nontraumatic hemorrhage of newborn (P52) ICD-10-CM
The P52 code range covers intracranial nontraumatic hemorrhage of newborn with 12 ICD-10-CM diagnosis codes. 10 of them are billable and valid for claim submission in fiscal year 2026, and the category headers group them but cannot themselves be billed.
Includes
This note appears immediately under a three character code title to further define, or give examples of, the content of the category.
- intracranial hemorrhage due to anoxia or hypoxia
Type 1 Excludes
A type 1 excludes note is a pure excludes note. It means "NOT CODED HERE!" An Excludes1 note indicates that the code excluded should never be used at the same time as the code above the Excludes1 note. An Excludes1 is used when two conditions cannot occur together, such as a congenital form versus an acquired form of the same condition.

Clinical Terms in This Code Range
Definitions from the National Library of Medicine for conditions coded in the P52 range.
Cerebral Amyloid Angiopathy, Familial
A familial disorder marked by AMYLOID deposits in the walls of small and medium sized blood vessels of CEREBRAL CORTEX and MENINGES.
Cerebral Hemorrhage
Bleeding into one or both CEREBRAL HEMISPHERES including the BASAL GANGLIA and the CEREBRAL CORTEX. It is often associated with HYPERTENSION and CRANIOCEREBRAL TRAUMA.
Cerebral Hemorrhage, Traumatic
Bleeding into one or both CEREBRAL HEMISPHERES due to TRAUMA. Hemorrhage may involve any part of the CEREBRAL CORTEX and the BASAL GANGLIA. Depending on the severity of bleeding, clinical features may include SEIZURES; APHASIA; VISION DISORDERS; MOVEMENT DISORDERS; PARALYSIS; and COMA.
Intracranial Hemorrhage, Hypertensive
Bleeding within the SKULL that is caused by systemic HYPERTENSION, usually in association with INTRACRANIAL ARTERIOSCLEROSIS. Hypertensive hemorrhages are most frequent in the BASAL GANGLIA; CEREBELLUM; PONS; and THALAMUS; but may also involve the CEREBRAL CORTEX, subcortical white matter, and other brain structures.
Subarachnoid Hemorrhage
Bleeding into the intracranial or spinal SUBARACHNOID SPACE, most resulting from INTRACRANIAL ANEURYSM rupture. It can occur after traumatic injuries (SUBARACHNOID HEMORRHAGE, TRAUMATIC). Clinical features include HEADACHE; NAUSEA; VOMITING, nuchal rigidity, variable neurological deficits and reduced mental status.
Subarachnoid Hemorrhage, Traumatic
Bleeding into the SUBARACHNOID SPACE due to CRANIOCEREBRAL TRAUMA. Minor hemorrhages may be asymptomatic; moderate to severe hemorrhages may be associated with INTRACRANIAL HYPERTENSION and VASOSPASM, INTRACRANIAL.
About the P52 Code Range
ICD-10 code P52 classifies nontraumatic intracranial hemorrhages in newborns, covering specific types and severities of bleeding within the brain that occur without birth injury.
The section includes detailed subcodes like P52.0 through P52.9, which describe hemorrhages by location and grade. For example, P52.0 and P52.1 identify grade 1 and grade 2 intraventricular hemorrhages, common terms being "early neonatal non-traumatic intraventricular hemorrhage" or "perinatal subependymal hemorrhage." Higher grade hemorrhages, such as grade 3 and 4, are classified under P52.21 and P52.22. Other codes specify hemorrhage sites like P52.4 for intracerebral bleeding, P52.5 for subarachnoid hemorrhage, and P52.6 for cerebellar and posterior fossa hemorrhage. Unspecified and "other" types are covered by P52.3, P52.8, and P52.9. This ICD-10 code range is essential for accurately identifying and documenting newborn brain hemorrhages not caused by trauma, guiding treatment and data reporting for neonatal care.
