D43.3 is a billable diagnosis code used to specify a medical diagnosis of neoplasm of uncertain behavior of cranial nerves. 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 acoustic nerve ; Neoplasm, neoplastic auditory nerve ; Neoplasm, neoplastic chiasma opticum ; Neoplasm, neoplastic cranial (fossa, any) nerve ; Neoplasm, neoplastic cranial (fossa, any) nerve specified NEC ; Neoplasm, neoplastic ganglia [See Also: Neoplasm, nerve, peripheral] cranial nerve ; Neoplasm, neoplastic nerve (ganglion) abducens ; etc

Clinical Classification
Clinical Category is Neoplasms of unspecified nature or uncertain behavior
- CCSR Category Code: NEO072
- Inpatient Default CCSR: Y - Yes, default inpatient assignment for principal diagnosis or first-listed diagnosis.
- Outpatient Default CCSR: Y - Yes, default outpatient assignment for principal diagnosis or first-listed diagnosis.
Clinical Information
Optic Nerve Glioma
glial cell derived tumors arising from the optic nerve, usually presenting in childhood.
Convert D43.3 to ICD-9-CM

Approximate Flag - The approximate mapping means there is not an exact match between the ICD-10 and ICD-9 codes and the mapped code is not a precise representation of the original code.
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.

Footnotes
[1] Chronic - a chronic condition code indicates a condition lasting 12 months or longer and its effect on the patient based on one or both of the following criteria:
- The condition results in the need for ongoing intervention with medical products,treatment, services, and special equipment
- The condition places limitations on self-care, independent living, and social interactions.
