Paroxysmal Kinesigenic Choreathetosis/Dyskinesia is a movement disorder characterized by sudden, brief episodes of involuntary movements triggered by sudden movements or startle. The ICD-10 code for Paroxysmal Kinesigenic Choreathetosis/Dyskinesia is G25.3. Unfortunately, ICD-9 does not have a specific code for this condition as it was replaced by ICD-10. It is important to consult with a healthcare professional for accurate diagnosis and appropriate coding.
Paroxysmal Kinesigenic Choreathetosis (PKC) is a rare neurological disorder characterized by sudden, brief episodes of involuntary movements triggered by voluntary movements or sudden changes in posture. The ICD-10 code for PKC is G25.3. This code falls under the category of "Other specified extrapyramidal and movement disorders."
In contrast, the ICD-9 code for PKC is 333.85, which is classified as "Paroxysmal dyskinesias." It is important to note that the transition from ICD-9 to ICD-10 occurred in 2015, so medical professionals now primarily use the ICD-10 coding system.
PKC can be challenging to diagnose, as its symptoms can overlap with other movement disorders. It is essential for healthcare providers to accurately document and code the condition to ensure proper treatment and management. The ICD-10 code G25.3 facilitates better tracking, research, and understanding of PKC and its prevalence.
