About S06.37
S06.37 is the ICD-10-CM diagnosis code for contusion, laceration, and hemorrhage of cerebellum. It belongs to category S06 (intracranial injury), block S00-S09 (injuries to the head) and chapter 19 (injury, poisoning and certain other consequences of external causes). It is a header code, so it can't be reported by itself; one of its 11 subcodes must be used instead.
Within S06.3 (focal traumatic brain injury), S06.37 is specifically for contusion, laceration, and hemorrhage of cerebellum. Related codes cover unspecified focal traumatic brain injury (S06.30), contusion and laceration of right cerebrum (S06.31), contusion and laceration of left cerebrum (S06.32), contusion and laceration of cerebrum, unspecified (S06.33), traumatic hemorrhage of right cerebrum (S06.34), traumatic hemorrhage of left cerebrum (S06.35), traumatic hemorrhage of cerebrum, unspecified (S06.36) and contusion, laceration, and hemorrhage of brainstem (S06.38).
Codes in this range require a 7th character: A for initial encounter, D for subsequent encounter and S for sequela. Use placeholder "X" characters to fill any empty positions before the 7th character.
Use an additional code, if applicable, to identify mild neurocognitive disorders due to known physiological condition (F06.7-).
It has been part of ICD-10-CM since the code set took effect on October 1, 2015 and hasn't changed since.

- S06.377Contusion, laceration, and hemorrhage of cerebellum with loss of consciousness of any duration with death due to brain injury prior to regaining consciousness
- S06.378Contusion, laceration, and hemorrhage of cerebellum with loss of consciousness of any duration with death due to other cause prior to regaining consciousness
- S06.379Contusion, laceration, and hemorrhage of cerebellum with loss of consciousness of unspecified duration

Notes that apply from higher levels
Instructions written at a parent level also apply to S06.37.
› From S06 Intracranial injury
- 7th characters D and S do not apply to codes in category S06 with 6th character 7 - death due to brain injury prior to regaining consciousness, or 8 - death due to other cause prior to regaining consciousness.
- traumatic brain injury
- head injury NOS (S09.90)
- code, if applicable, to identify mild neurocognitive disorders due to known physiological condition (F06.7-)
Broader instructions also apply from S00-S09 Injuries to the head and Chapter 19: Injury, poisoning and certain other consequences of external causes.
