ICD-10-PCS 00J Medical and Surgical: Central Nervous System and Cranial Nerves Inspection

The ICD-10-PCS root operation Inspection (code 00J) involves visually and/or manually examining the central nervous system and cranial nerves to assess their condition without altering the anatomy. This operation is classified under the Medical and Surgical section for procedures targeting these critical neurological structures.

Within this classification, central nervous system and cranial nerves inspection can be performed through several approaches. For example, the Open Approach allows direct visualization of the Brain (code 00J00ZZ), Cranial Nerve (code 00JE0ZZ), Spinal Canal (code 00JU0ZZ), and Spinal Cord (code 00JV0ZZ). Minimally invasive techniques include the Percutaneous and Percutaneous Endoscopic Approaches, such as inspecting the brain percutaneously (code 00J03ZZ) or endoscopically (code 00J04ZZ), as well as similar approaches for the cranial nerve, spinal canal, and spinal cord. These detailed inspection codes support precise documentation of diagnostic procedures used to evaluate neurological structures without surgical modification.
