Wiki ICD-9 code for multiple stroke syndrom

[nolagirl]

How would one code multiple stroke syndrome? With 436? Any experts out there? Thanks!

The ICD-9 manual indexes as follows:

Syndrome
stroke (see also Disease, cerebrovascular, acute) 436

Disease
Cerebrovascular
acute 436

I always code 436 unless they are specific.
