ICD10 code of Arachnoiditis and ICD9 code
What is the ICD10 code for Arachnoiditis? And the ICD9 code for Arachnoiditis?
Arachnoiditis is a condition characterized by inflammation of the arachnoid, one of the three membranes that surround and protect the brain and spinal cord. The inflammation can lead to the formation of scar tissue, which can cause pain and other neurological symptoms.
In the International Classification of Diseases, 10th Revision (ICD-10), the code for arachnoiditis is G04.90. This code falls under the category of "Inflammatory diseases of the central nervous system, unspecified." The "G" indicates that it is a disease of the nervous system, and the "04.90" specifies the specific condition.
On the other hand, in the previous version of the classification, the ICD-9 code for arachnoiditis was 324.1. This code was found under the category of "Other inflammatory diseases of the central nervous system."
It is important to note that ICD-10 introduced a more detailed and specific coding system compared to ICD-9, allowing for more accurate diagnosis and treatment. The transition from ICD-9 to ICD-10 occurred in October 2015 in the United States, and healthcare providers have since been utilizing the ICD-10 codes for documentation and billing purposes.
Arachnoiditis is a complex condition that requires proper diagnosis and management by healthcare professionals. If you suspect you may have arachnoiditis or any other medical concern, it is crucial to seek medical attention for a thorough evaluation and appropriate treatment.

The code is G03.9 for adhesive arachnoiditis. You will notice it mentions meningitis. This needs to be revised. Meningitis can be one of many causes.
