Dementia due to cerebrovascular diseaseICD-11 Category
ICD-11 code : 6D81;
Preferred Label : Dementia due to cerebrovascular disease;
ICD-11 definition : Vascular dementia is due to significant brain parenchyma injury resulting from cerebrovascular
disease (ischemic or haemorrhagic). The onset of the cognitive deficits is temporally
related to one or more vascular events. Cognitive decline is typically most prominent
in speed of information processing, complex attention, and frontal-executive functioning.
There is evidence of the presence of cerebrovascular disease considered to be sufficient
to account for the neurocognitive deficits from history, physical examination and
neuroimaging.;
