ICD10 code of Tarlov Cyst and ICD9 code
What is the ICD10 code for Tarlov Cyst? And the ICD9 code for Tarlov Cyst?
Tarlov cyst, also known as perineural cyst or sacral nerve root cyst, is a rare disorder characterized by the formation of fluid-filled cysts in the spinal nerve roots at the base of the spine. These cysts can cause a variety of symptoms, including pain, numbness, weakness, and bowel/bladder dysfunction.
In the International Classification of Diseases, 10th Revision (ICD-10), Tarlov cyst is classified under the code G95.1. This code falls under the category "Other diseases of spinal cord," which encompasses various spinal cord disorders that do not have specific codes assigned to them. G95.1 specifically denotes "Cauda equina syndrome and related disorders," which includes Tarlov cyst.
In the previous version of the classification system, ICD-9, Tarlov cyst did not have a specific code assigned to it. However, it was typically coded under the general category of "Other disorders of the nervous system" with code 349.89. This code encompassed various other nervous system disorders that did not have specific codes assigned to them in ICD-9.
It is important to note that ICD codes are used for medical billing, statistical tracking, and research purposes. They provide a standardized way to categorize and code various diseases and conditions. However, they may not capture all specific details or nuances of a particular disorder or condition, such as the size, location, or severity of Tarlov cysts. Therefore, additional documentation and clinical details may be necessary for accurate diagnosis and treatment.
