- Code Navigator:
D49.6 is a billable diagnosis code used to specify a medical diagnosis of neoplasm of unspecified behavior of brain. The code is valid during the current fiscal year for the submission of HIPAA-covered transactions from October 01, 2023 through September 30, 2024.
The following anatomical sites found in the Table of Neoplasms reference this diagnosis code given the correct histological behavior: Neoplasm, neoplastic basal ganglia ; Neoplasm, neoplastic basis pedunculi ; Neoplasm, neoplastic brain NEC ; Neoplasm, neoplastic brain NEC basal ganglia ; Neoplasm, neoplastic brain NEC cerebellopontine angle ; Neoplasm, neoplastic brain NEC cerebellum NOS ; Neoplasm, neoplastic brain NEC cerebrum ; etc
Unspecified diagnosis codes like D49.6 are acceptable when clinical information is unknown or not available about a particular condition. Although a more specific code is preferable, unspecified codes should be used when such codes most accurately reflect what is known about a patient's condition. Specific diagnosis codes should not be used if not supported by the patient's medical record.

Clinical Information
Basal Ganglia
large subcortical nuclear masses derived from the telencephalon and located in the basal regions of the cerebral hemispheres.Basal Ganglia Cerebrovascular Disease
a pathological condition caused by impaired blood flow in the basal regions of cerebral hemispheres (basal ganglia), such as infarction; hemorrhage; or ischemia in vessels of this brain region including the lateral lenticulostriate arteries. primary clinical manifestations include involuntary movements (dyskinesias) and muscle weakness (hemiparesis).Basal Ganglia Diseases
diseases of the basal ganglia including the putamen; globus pallidus; claustrum; amygdala; and caudate nucleus. dyskinesias (most notably involuntary movements and alterations of the rate of movement) represent the primary clinical manifestations of these disorders. common etiologies include cerebrovascular disorders; neurodegenerative diseases; and craniocerebral trauma.Basal Ganglia Hemorrhage
bleeding within the subcortical regions of cerebral hemispheres (basal ganglia). it is often associated with hypertension or arteriovenous malformations. clinical manifestations may include headache; dyskinesias; and hemiparesis.Globus Pallidus
the representation of the phylogenetically oldest part of the corpus striatum called the paleostriatum. it forms the smaller, more medial part of the lentiform nucleus.Anterior Hypothalamic Nucleus
loose heterogeneous collection of cells in the anterior hypothalamus, continuous rostrally with the medial and lateral preoptic areas and caudally with the tuber cinereum.Arcuate Nucleus of Hypothalamus
a nucleus located in the middle hypothalamus in the most ventral part of the third ventricle near the entrance of the infundibular recess. its small cells are in close contact with the ependyma.Hypothalamic Area, Lateral
area in the hypothalamus bounded medially by the mammillothalamic tract and the anterior column of the fornix (brain). the medial edge of the internal capsule and the subthalamic region form its lateral boundary. it contains the lateral hypothalamic nucleus, tuberomammillary nucleus, lateral tuberal nuclei, and fibers of the medial forebrain bundle.Hypothalamic Neoplasms
benign and malignant tumors of the hypothalamus. pilocytic astrocytomas and hamartomas are relatively frequent histologic types. neoplasms of the hypothalamus frequently originate from adjacent structures, including the optic chiasm, optic nerve (see optic nerve neoplasms), and pituitary gland (see pituitary neoplasms). relatively frequent clinical manifestations include visual loss, developmental delay, macrocephaly, and precocious puberty. (from devita et al., cancer: principles and practice of oncology, 5th ed, p2051)Hypothalamus
ventral part of the diencephalon extending from the region of the optic chiasm to the caudal border of the mammillary bodies and forming the inferior and lateral walls of the third ventricle.Hypothalamus, Anterior
the front portion of the hypothalamus separated into the preoptic region and the supraoptic region. the preoptic region is made up of the periventricular gray matter of the rostral portion of the third ventricle and contains the preoptic ventricular nucleus and the medial preoptic nucleus. the supraoptic region contains the paraventricular hypothalamic nucleus, the supraoptic nucleus, the anterior hypothalamic nucleus, and the suprachiasmatic nucleus.Hypothalamus, Middle
middle portion of the hypothalamus containing the arcuate, dorsomedial, ventromedial nuclei, the tuber cinereum and the pituitary gland.Hypothalamus, Posterior
the part of the hypothalamus posterior to the middle region consisting of several nuclei including the medial maxillary nucleus, lateral mammillary nucleus, and posterior hypothalamic nucleus (posterior hypothalamic area). the posterior hypothalamic area is concerned with control of sympathetic responses and is sensitive to conditions of decreasing temperature and controls the mechanisms for the conservation and increased production of heat.Pituitary Gland
a small, unpaired gland situated in the sella turcica. it is connected to the hypothalamus by a short stalk which is called the infundibulum.Supraoptic Nucleus
hypothalamic nucleus overlying the beginning of the optic tract.Putamen
the largest and most lateral of the basal ganglia lying between the lateral medullary lamina of the globus pallidus and the external capsule. it is part of the neostriatum and forms part of the lentiform nucleus along with the globus pallidus.Putaminal Hemorrhage
intracranial bleeding into the putamen, a basal ganglia nucleus. this is associated with hypertension and lipohyalinosis of small blood vessels in the putamen. clinical manifestations vary with the size of hemorrhage, but include hemiparesis; headache; and alterations of consciousness.Anterior Thalamic Nuclei
three nuclei located beneath the dorsal surface of the most rostral part of the thalamus. the group includes the anterodorsal nucleus, anteromedial nucleus, and anteroventral nucleus. all receive connections from the mamillary body and brain fornix, and project fibers to the cingulate body.Intralaminar Thalamic Nuclei
cell groups within the internal medullary lamina of the thalamus. they include a rostral division comprising the paracentral, central lateral, central dorsal, and central medial nuclei, and a caudal division composed of the centromedian and parafascicular nuclei.Mediodorsal Thalamic Nucleus
the largest of the medial nuclei of the thalamus. it makes extensive connections with most of the other thalamic nuclei.Midline Thalamic Nuclei
small, nonspecific nerve cells scattered in the periventricular gray matter, separating the medial part of the thalamus from the ependyma of the third ventricle. the group includes the paraventricular nucleus, paratenial nucleus, reuniens nucleus, rhomboidal nucleus, and subfascular nucleus.Posterior Thalamic Nuclei
a transitional diencephalic zone of the thalamus consisting of complex and varied cells lying caudal to the ventral posterolateral nucleus, medial to the rostral part of the pulvinar, and dorsal to the medial geniculate body. it contains the limitans, posterior, suprageniculate, and submedial nuclei.Pulvinar
large mass of nuclei forming the most caudal portion of the thalamus and overhanging the geniculate bodies and the dorsolateral surface of the midbrain. it is divided into four parts: the lateral, medial, inferior, and oral pulvinar nuclei.Thalamus
paired bodies containing mostly gray matter and forming part of the lateral wall of the third ventricle of the brain.Ventral Thalamic Nuclei
a large group of nuclei lying between the internal medullary lamina and the internal capsule. it includes the ventral anterior, ventral lateral, and ventral posterior nuclei.
Tabular List of Diseases and Injuries
The following annotation back-references are applicable to this diagnosis code. The Tabular List of Diseases and Injuries is a list of ICD-10-CM codes, organized "head to toe" into chapters and sections with coding notes and guidance for inclusions, exclusions, descriptions and more.
Type 1 Excludes
Type 1 ExcludesA type 1 excludes note is a pure excludes note. It means "NOT CODED HERE!" An Excludes1 note indicates that the code excluded should never be used at the same time as the code above the Excludes1 note. An Excludes1 is used when two conditions cannot occur together, such as a congenital form versus an acquired form of the same condition.
Index to Diseases and Injuries References

Table of Neoplasms
This code is referenced in the table of neoplasms by anatomical site. For each site there are six possible code numbers according to whether the neoplasm in question is malignant, benign, in situ, of uncertain behavior, or of unspecified nature. The description of the neoplasm will often indicate which of the six columns is appropriate.
Where such descriptors are not present, the remainder of the Index should be consulted where guidance is given to the appropriate column for each morphological (histological) variety listed. However, the guidance in the Index can be overridden if one of the descriptors mentioned above is present.

Patient Education
Brain Diseases
Your brain is the control center of your body. It controls your thoughts, memory, speech, and movement. It regulates the function of many organs. It's part of your nervous system, which also includes your spinal cord and peripheral nerves. The nervous system sends signals between your brain and the rest of the body. Your nerves take in information from your senses and send it to the brain to be processed. Your brain and nerves also communicate to help you move and to control your body's functions.
When the brain is healthy, it works quickly and automatically. But when you have a brain disease, it may affect how well you can function and do your daily activities. Some common brain diseases include:
- Brain tumors, which can press on nerves and affect brain function.
- Degenerative nerve diseases, which can affect many of your body's activities, such as balance, movement, talking, breathing, and heart function. Types include Alzheimer's disease and Parkinson's disease.
- Encephalitis (inflammation in the brain), which can lead to problems such as vision loss, weakness, and paralysis.
- Genetic brain disorders, which are caused by changes in genes (also called variants or mutations). These disorders can affect the development and function of the brain.
- Strokes, which can cause a loss of brain cells and can affect your ability to think clearly.
- Traumatic brain injuries (TBIs), which can affect brain function. They may range from mild to severe. The effects of a TBI may be temporary or permanent.
The symptoms of brain diseases vary widely, depending on the specific problem. In some cases, damage is permanent. In other cases, treatments such as surgery, medicines, or therapies such as physical, occupational, and speech therapies, may cure the disease or improve the symptoms.
